What should I do if my baby has a hemangioma?

1.Classification of hemangioma Hemangioma is a kind of misshapen tumor or non-genuine tumor originating from abnormal blood vessel development. It is divided into true hemangioma and vascular malformation. True hemangioma is divided into capillary hemangioma (such as strawberry hemangioma), cavernous hemangioma, mixed hemangioma and so on; vascular malformation is divided into capillary malformation, venous malformation, arteriovenous malformation, arteriovenous fistula and so on. Each kind of hemangioma or vascular malformation may occur in different parts of the body, or there may be several different parts of the body at the same time with different hemangiomas or vascular malformations or accompanied by other diseases at the same time. It is medically called so-and-so syndrome. The occurrence and diagnosis of hemangioma When your baby is found to have hemangioma at birth, we call it “birthmark” in life, and it is called hemangioma or vascular malformation in medicine. According to clinical medical experience, this kind of “birthmark” has a high possibility of vascular malformation, and most of the time it grows slowly after birth, and grows throughout life, with little possibility of fading away naturally, so it needs to take active treatment measures. When your baby is born a few days before the discovery of hemangioma, life, we also call it “birthmark”, but this “birthmark” has a characteristic, that is, the growth of a particularly fast, so that young mothers and fathers do not have a little bit of the joy of becoming a father and mother, but also increase a few points of worry. The first thing you need to do is to get rid of it. However, mothers and fathers do not need to be anxious, there are some fast-growing hemangiomas although fast-growing, but to a certain age can naturally subside, and drug treatment is more effective, such as strawberry hemangioma. When your baby has hemangioma, it is hard for parents to stay calm, especially when the growth rate of hemangioma is counted by days, young parents can hardly rest in their bedrooms. However, in the opinion of hemangioma specialists, you don’t need to be anxious, first of all, you must bring your baby to the hospital; give the hemangioma specialists a checkup and make a clear diagnosis, and listen to the opinions of specialists more. At this moment, the hemangioma expert is your biggest dependence. Treatment of hemangioma or vascular malformation With the development of medical science and technology, many kinds of hemangiomas can be completely cured, and the treatment effect of some other hemangiomas is also very good. However, there are still a small number of hemangiomas or hemangioma syndromes with very poor treatment effect and even with life-threatening condition. Currently there are many means of treating hemangiomas. For example: oral medicines, external medicines, laser treatment, cryotherapy, radiation irradiation, interventional therapy, radiofrequency therapy, surgical treatment, etc., but all of them must be carried out under the guidance of experts with clear diagnosis. Personal opinion: for children just born within one month of the general external drug-based; for children older than one month, you can start injecting drugs and oral medication, you can also consider laser therapy, should start with a smaller dose. Young mothers and fathers must pay attention to observe their children’s reactions during treatment, changes in the hemangioma, and contact and communicate with their doctors on a regular basis. Even if the hemangioma is under control, it is important not to be careless because hemangiomas can recur. In conclusion, hemangioma is not scary, hemangioma can be controlled and cured. If your baby has a hemangioma, you must have an extra eye.
