Patient: Born with a light red birthmark on the left side of the forehead, the color became redder and larger as it grew, and is now about one centimeter. It protrudes from the surface of the skin and is bright red in color. Now the child is two months old. What kind of treatment should I choose? What kind of treatment should I choose and when is the best time for treatment? Zhanglin Li, Department of Pediatric Oncology, Tianjin Cancer Hospital: This kind of hemangioma is strawberry hemangioma, but some children can involve subcutaneous tissue and become mixed type. It grows fast in the first few months after birth, and then grows slowly after 6 months, and some of them can stop growing, and more than half of the children can gradually disappear by themselves around 1 year old. If the mass grows fast, you can choose freezing, laser, surgery and other treatments. If the lump is stable, it can be observed and then treated after 1 year of age if it fails to subside. Patient: Thank you, Dr. Li, for your explanation and advice. I would also like to ask. What is the best treatment for this kind of hemangioma? What is the best treatment for this kind of hemangioma? What is the method with the least side effect and harm? Li Zhanglin from Children’s Oncology Department of Tianjin Cancer Hospital: All treatments are traumatic. Surgery is the most thorough and fast-acting, but anesthesia for children has certain risks. Cryotherapy or laser treatment is safer, but there will be a bigger scar, and the treatment is not complete if the tumor involves subcutaneous tissue. Injection of sclerosing agents into the tumor can cause necrosis, infection, and requires multiple treatments. If the tumor grows faster, surgical removal is recommended to be more thorough. Patient: Thank you very much for your answer. Recently I found a few white parts on my child’s hemangioma, is this a sign that it is going to subside? How many centimeters above the skin does this type of hemangioma usually go? Thank you again for taking the trouble to answer my questions! Zhanglin Li, Department of Pediatric Oncology, Tianjin Cancer Hospital: The fading of hemangiomas is generally manifested as a reduction in the scope, lightening of color and flattening. The fading usually starts around 6 months after birth. Your child is just over 2 months old and still needs to be closely monitored.
