FAQ
A hemangioma is a type of vascular birthmark that appears as a reddish/purple lump on the skin. It is most common in babies and infants, but can also occur in adults.
Hemangiomas are usually painless, but they can sometimes cause bleeding or ulceration. They can also be unsightly, which can lead to psychological problems in children.
The exact cause of hemangiomas is unknown, but they are thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Hemangiomas can occur in anyone, but they are more common in babies and infants. They are also more common in girls than boys.
Hemangiomas are usually diagnosed by a doctor during a physical exam. In some cases, a biopsy may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
Hemangiomas usually go away on their own within a few years. However, some hemangiomas may require treatment. Treatment options for hemangioma include laser therapy, surgery, and steroid injections.
The risks of hemangioma treatment vary depending on the type of treatment used. Laser therapy can cause bruising and swelling. Surgery can cause scarring. Steroid injections can cause side effects such as weight gain and mood changes.
Hemangioma treatment is available at many medical clinics and hospitals. You can also find hemangioma treatment specialists at some dermatology clinics.
