Question
“What is growing on the baby’s foot?”
Answer
“It could be a hemangioma. Hemangiomas are benign tumors that typically appear during infancy or neonatal periods. They can appear on the surface of the skin as red or blue spots, or they may be in the subcutaneous tissue. There are different types of hemangiomas, including capillary hemangiomas and cavernous hemangiomas, and their treatment may include surgical removal, cryotherapy, or other medication treatments. Parents should closely monitor the size and shape changes of the hemangioma to seek professional treatment at the appropriate time.”
