Question

I don’t know what’s wrong, but my child has been crying and fussing a lot recently. What are the symptoms of infant hemangiomas?

Answer

  1. Strawberry Hemangioma: Red spots appear on the skin, usually present at birth or shortly thereafter.
  2. Capillary Hemangioma: Patches of skin may appear as swellings, ranging in color from red to purple, and may grow in size over time.
  3. Cavernous Hemangioma: Swellings form under the skin, may be painful to the touch, and the color of the lump may change with pressure and temperature.
