Hemangioma Treatment

Infantile hemangioma is a benign tumour of the vascular nature and is known to form along the line of blood cells known as endothelial cells. This type of tumour is estimated to be the most common amongst infants and they manifest in nearly 10% of all infants. It is assumed that some variants of hemangiomas can be seen at birth and manifest as a strawberry hemangiomabirthmark  due to the burgundy discolouration of the condition being visible on​  the skin​.

Hemangiomas, or infantile hemangiomas, are ​

noncancerous growths​ of blood vessels. They’re the most common growths or tumors in children. They usually grow for a period of time and then subside without treatment.

They don’t cause problems in most infants. However, some hemangiomas may open and bleed or ulcerate. This may be painful. Depending on their size and location, they may be disfiguring. Additionally, they may occur with other central nervous system​ or ​spine​abnormalities.
