“Can hemangioma heal on its own?” “Does it matter if a hemangioma is not treated?” Many parents of children are asking the same question, so can infant hemangioma heal by itself? In the past, the traditional classification of infant hemangioma was divided into capillary hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma, mixed hemangioma and trapezius hemangioma according to morphology, among which capillary hemangioma includes neonatal nevus, erythematous nevus and strawberry capillary hemangioma. Neonatal nevus According to the traditional textbook, neonatal nevus among capillary hemangioma can fade on its own without special treatment. However, after a large number of clinical cases, it has been shown that neonatal nevus has the risk of area expansion and thickening if left untreated. Erythema nevus Erythema nevus will not fade on its own, and will stay with the patient for life if no effective treatment is provided. Strawberry hemangioma Most of the strawberry hemangiomas are not receding, and very few of them show signs of receding, leaving pigmentation or loose skin and uneven scars. Spongiform hemangioma, mixed hemangioma, trapezoid hemangioma and other deep hemangioma cannot subside, but will grow bigger and bigger. Very few of them can subside and 80% of them will leave a scar. According to hemangioma experts, very few hemangiomas can subside, but 80% of the subside hemangiomas will form scars. In mild cases, there is local capillary dilation, skin wrinkling, slight pigmentation and minor structural changes; in severe cases, there is skin laxity, scar formation and fibrofatty deformation leading to significant local structural changes. Some specific areas, such as between the eyebrows, the tip of the nose, and the ears, may show cosmetic changes. Larger areas of infantile hemangioma have a potential risk of scar formation after regression, especially superficial infantile hemangiomas. Ulcer formation can lead to scar formation of varying degrees of severity, depending on factors such as the size and depth of the tumor and the thickness of the skin invaded by the tumor itself. Are you willing to risk your child’s health for the rest of his or her life? Having said that, some parents may think, “What about the 20% of hemangiomas that fade away without scarring? But without the experience of a professional doctor, can you guarantee that your child will be one of the very few hemangiomas that will go away, and that he will be among the 20% that will go away without scarring? Parents, don’t gamble with your child’s lifelong health and hemangioma disease, the ultimate victim is your child. Hemangioma experts remind parents that hemangioma not only affects the appearance of the child, but also makes the child feel different from other children unknowingly, which seriously affects the child’s mental health.
