Will hemangioma subside? When does it usually fade?

Hemangioma is a common benign tumor in children. About 3/4 hemangiomas in children exist at birth, and the rest also occur within 65,438+0 years old. Girls are more common than boys. Hemangiomas mostly occur in the skin of the face and limbs, which affects the appearance, and can also cause bacterial infection due to trauma, friction and scratching bleeding. Some hemangiomas grow fast first, then slowly, and even disappear on their own. Parents should closely observe the growth of infantile hemangioma, do a good job in family care and grasp the best opportunity for treatment.

There are five common hemangioma in children:

◎ Orange spots were found after birth, and the patch size was orange-red or reddish. They don't rise above the skin surface, fade when pressed lightly, and deepen when crying. Orange spots are more common in forehead, upper eyelid and occipital region, and generally disappear within a few months after birth without treatment.

◎ Erythema nevus is also called wine spot. After birth, it is reddish or dark red spots, which do not fade when pressed and do not rise out of the skin surface. It is located in the dermis and consists of a capillary network. After birth, the nevus erythema grows in proportion to the growth of the body, but the scope is no longer expanded. Erythema nevus cannot resolve itself. Erythema nevus is generally harmless except that it affects the appearance, and cryotherapy can be used if necessary.

◎ Capillary hemangioma is more common in the skin, especially in the occipital region, head, face, limbs and back, and it is longer than the lips and tongue. Capillary hemangiomas vary in size, ranging from large ones that can occupy most of the face or limbs to small ones that are only a few millimeters, slightly higher than the skin. Capillary hemangioma usually exists after birth, grows rapidly within 6 months, and gradually stops growing after one or two years old. Affect the appearance, there is a risk of massive bleeding after breakage. Parents should pay close attention. If the hemangioma is small, the growth rate is slow, and it is not in the exposed part, it can subside after stopping growth. If hemangioma grows rapidly and seriously affects its appearance, it should be treated immediately, and isotope application can be used for treatment.

Cavernous hemangioma can occur in skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and even liver and kidney. The appearance is purplish red, and there are small veins with twists and turns around, which are soft and elastic. They contract when squeezed and recover after pressure is removed. This kind of hemangioma sometimes grows very big and deep with the growth of the baby's age, which seriously damages the appearance and destroys normal tissues. Once diagnosed, it should be treated immediately, injected with sclerosing agent or surgically removed.

◎ Tenderlike hemangioma is more common in limbs, and there are many dendritic dilated blood vessels on the surface and around it, which are tortuous and tendril-shaped, and the local skin is dark red or blue-purple, and sometimes the blood vessels can be touched or heard. For this hemangioma, it is necessary to operate as soon as possible, and you can also wrap your limbs with elastic bandages to relieve the symptoms such as limb pain.
