Question
When my baby was about one month old, a capillary hemangioma was found below the ear root on the back of the cheek. After receiving a prevention shot, the tumor increased in size. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the tumor to be 5 millimeters in size, roughly the size of an egg, and the face appeared asymmetric. Since four months old, no prevention shots have been administered, and the tumor has stopped growing. Now, at two years and four months old, no prevention shots have been administered. How should we address the current situation?
Answer
The likelihood of the capillary hemangioma receding is low, and as the child grows older, it may compress surrounding normal nerves and tissues, leading to problems like rupture. Early treatment is recommended, with high-frequency electrocoagulation minimally invasive treatment often used. This method leaves no scars, completely removes the tumor, does not harm normal skin tissues, and maintains a cosmetic appearance.
