Hemangioma is a common benign tumor in children, but it often occurs in the head, face, neck, and other areas, which affects the appearance. Many parents are afraid that such traces will affect the physical and mental health of their babies in the future. Therefore, once they find that their babies have vascular tumors on their faces, they are very worried. So, how to treat infantile facial vascular tumors?
Because vascular tumors not only affect aesthetics, but also have other health effects if they grow in a special location, such as the eyes or have a large area. Therefore, the best way is to go to the hospital for examination. If the vascular tumor is very small and the location is not special, there is a certain chance that it will disappear on its own, and temporary observation can be chosen.
But if the location is special or the area is large, surgery is needed for treatment, such as radiation, local hardening, low-temperature freezing, etc., which can treat vascular tumors. However, if it is a situation that does not require treatment, parents should be careful to avoid scratching the vascular tumor location at home, and children's nails should be trimmed neatly to avoid scratching and damaging, which may cause infection.
Because hemangioma is a tissue that is very prone to ulceration, once it is damaged, it is likely to cause infection and leave large areas of scars. Moreover, if one chooses to observe and wait for it to fall off on its own, it will take a long time. Therefore, during this period, it is important to pay attention to protecting the location of the hemangioma to avoid infection caused by damage. If surgery is required, the surgical method should be chosen according to the doctor's advice.
