How many months is the best time to treat babies with hemangiomas

There is no certain best time to treat infantile hemangiomas. The best time to treat infantile hemangiomas is determined by the location of the hemangioma, how early it is detected, its size, and its impact on tissue and organ function and life. Some hemangiomas may subside or shrink on their own. If they are not widespread on the face, you can observe them and wait until the child grows up to see if you need to utilize laser or other treatments. Of course, if parents are concerned, treatment can be done earlier. There are other hemangiomas that may become smaller within a short period of time after birth, which can also be observed. Cavernous hemangiomas or trapezoidal hemangiomas and multiple hemangiomas that occur on the face or grow rapidly should be treated as soon as possible after discovery, usually starting at 1-3 months after birth. Medication can be used to treat superficial hemangiomas in infants and young children with propranolol ointment applied externally under the guidance of a doctor for three to six months until the tumor disappears completely. Surgical treatment is also available and requires specific evaluation by a surgeon. It is recommended to consult a doctor for timely examination to determine the condition, and then determine the time of treatment under the guidance of the doctor and actively treat the tumor.
