I have a 3month old daughter that has developed an hemangioma on her her adjacent to her fontanel. I am worried whether it should be removed or left alone. I am also wondering what type of Dr. I should take her to have hemangioma accessed. I have already taken her to one surgeon and he seemed to be very radical in his ways and suggested immediate remove w general anesthesia etc. However, I asked a pathologist (a professor of mine-in dental school) and his suggestion was to leave it and will regress w time. Do you have any suggestions??
DONOR DO ANYTHING for a small hematoma. Except a cosmetic problem it doesn't cause any problem and MAY NOT reduce on its own. You can do following1) leave it alone till 2 to 3 yrs age2) one can use Steroid cream or inject steroid which will RETRACT the size of hemangioma3Laser treatment can be considered after 4 to 5 years age DONOR WORRY it's just a cosmetic issue and better not touch at 3 months age
