What are the dangers of strawberry hemangioma in children?

Many parents may think that strawberry hemangiomas in children are not a serious disease because they think that strawberry hemangiomas are relatively small and grow on the skin, and some strawberry hemangiomas will disappear on their own, so they think they do not cause much harm. However, this parental view is wrong. If strawberry hemangioma is not treated in time, it will cause serious harm to children. Now let me tell parents what harm strawberry hemangioma can do to children.

1. Infant strawberry hemangioma seriously endangers the health of the child. In the first 6 months, it grows rapidly and is extremely invasive. Within a few weeks, normal tissues can be severely damaged, so that the eyelids, lips, nose, ears and other tissues are covered by the constantly expanding hemangioma tissue. The tumor is irregular in shape and is purple or red in color[1], and is prone to rupture, bleeding, infection, necrosis, and scar formation.

2. As the infant's strawberry hemangioma grows larger, it can also cause a series of secondary problems, such as obstruction of the eyes and ears, swelling of the lips, etc., resulting in functional disorders of breathing, eating, vision, and hearing. Mixed hemangiomas grow rapidly after the baby is born, continuing to grow and expand, invading the surrounding skin and deep tissues, affecting their normal functions.

3. It will affect the child's bone growth and development. If the hemangioma grows between the child's bones, it will be very difficult to separate it, which will also lead to abnormal bone growth. It seriously affects the appearance and causes great harm to the patient's body and mind. These not only harm the patient's body, but also increase the difficulty of treatment and the cost of treatment.

4. Complications. Complications of strawberry hemangioma in infants include ulcers, infarction of important organs, bleeding, etc. Early intervention can prevent the growth of strawberry hemangioma and reduce the risk of fibrous tissue hyperplasia.

I believe that all parents will be alert after reading the above. Strawberry hemangiomas that disappear on their own may not cause much harm, but those hemangiomas that tend to grow larger can seriously endanger children's health and even cause life-threatening danger. Therefore, if parents find that their children have strawberry hemangiomas, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
