Nowadays, there are many diseases that are not classified by age and gender, so many babies have vascular tumors during birth or postnatal care. Does infantile hemangioma cause pain?
Infant hemangioma is usually painless in clinical practice, and the essence of hemangioma is abnormal proliferation of embryonic or endothelial cells, including the onset, proliferation, and regression stages. Its characteristic is the proliferation of intradermal cells and an increase in cell density, which is related to a decrease in the level of growth inhibitory factors.
So what should we do if a baby has a hemangioma?
1. Babies with vascular tumors should determine the number of laser sessions based on the size of the tumor. Generally speaking, smaller vascular tumors can be cured in one go. If the laser area is too small and the color is dark, another laser should be performed.
2. Hemangioma is a common benign tumor that can occur in any age group, but mostly in middle-aged people. If the infantile hemangioma is less than 5 centimeters, no treatment is required. If it exceeds 5cm, laser treatment can be performed. It has minimal damage and recovers quickly.
3. Some topical medications can be used. Although it is impossible to completely cure infantile hemangiomas, it can alleviate certain symptoms such as local blockage of blood vessels in the hemangioma.
4. Through surgical laser, sclerotherapy injection, and other minimally invasive therapies, the principle is to destroy the blood vessels that flow out, rather than unclog them, which is relatively prone to recurrence and may leave a small amount of scars. Through repeated comprehensive therapies, recurrence can be avoided.
