Question
A 3-year-old girl developed a small red spot on her right arm (where she received her vaccine) about 3 to 4 months after birth. Initially, it was thought to be a reaction to the vaccination, but several small red dots appeared later, which have now merged into a red bump the size of a small fingernail, resembling a strawberry. I’m not sure what this condition is; is it a skin disease? How should it be treated? Do I need to have surgery? Is it dangerous?
Answer
Hello, your child might have a hemangioma. It is recommended that you take your child to the pediatric surgery department of the hospital for an examination to confirm the cause and then actively seek treatment. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
