What are the hazards of hemangioma on the baby's head?

Hemangioma is a relatively common benign tumor, but when it occurs in a sensitive place like the head, the harm is still quite serious. Especially when hemangiomas appear on the heads of some children, although no direct harm is caused, the possible harm needs to be taken seriously by parents. So, what are the dangers of hemangioma on the baby's head? Let's take a closer look below.

Head developmental deformity: Hemangioma is a benign tumor caused by abnormal proliferation of capillary endothelial cells or vascular malformations. It will continue to grow and change, causing damage to the child's head muscle tissue, nerves and blood vessels. The longer the tumor exists, the greater the invasion, so it will cause head developmental deformity.

Causes terrible complications: The baby's fontanelle has not yet closed, and being eroded and damaged by the tumor can easily cause abnormal growth and development, and may lead to complications such as microcephaly, brain hypoplasia, meningitis, hydrocephalus, rickets, etc.

Ulceration and bleeding: The hemangioma on the baby's head contains a large amount of abnormal blood, which is easy to rupture and bleed, so it must be treated as soon as possible. In addition, parents should be gentle when washing their baby's hair, not scratching with their fingers, use warm water, and gently dry it with a clean cotton cloth after washing.

Scars are likely to cause pain: The area of ​​the hemangioma on the baby's head gradually increases, constantly compressing, eroding and destroying the surrounding area, and causing pain and other discomfort. If ulcers are not treated in time, scabs will form and leave ugly scars, affecting the child's hair growth and appearance, leaving lifelong regrets.

The above is an introduction to the dangers of hemangioma on the baby’s head. I hope it will be helpful to parents. Hemangiomas can cause great harm to children. When you find that your child has this condition, you must take him to a regular hospital for treatment in time. After all, it is a hidden danger.
