How to treat hemangioma on baby's head

Hemangioma refers to a benign tumor that occurs in vascular tissue. It is formed due to the misconfiguration and tumor-like proliferation of vascular tissue. Many parents have encountered hemangiomas on their babies’ heads. They are generally benign, but people are confused about whether they need treatment or not and how to treat them. The head is the most important organ in the human body, so if a disease occurs, it should be treated in time. So how to treat hemangiomas on a baby’s head?

(1) Spontaneous regression: Some capillary hemangiomas and cavernous hemangiomas can resolve on their own, but they grow rapidly in the first 6 months after birth and sometimes disappear during school age.

(2) Erythematous nevus and capillary hemangioma can be treated with isotope patches, which leave no scars and are painless, with satisfactory results.

(3) Cavernous hemangioma: It can be cured by cryotherapy, injection of sclerosing agents to embolize the blood vessels, or surgical removal.

(4) Congenital arteriovenous fistula: If limb enlargement affects function, surgical treatment after arteriography can be performed.

1Infantile hemangioma is a common congenital benign tumor. This disease originates from residual embryonic tissue, and the capillary endothelial cells in the tumor proliferate significantly and the capillaries dilate. Most hemangiomas occur on the patient's head and neck skin, and some also occur in the mucous membranes, muscles and other parts. Infant hemangiomas are usually present at birth, and some appear shortly after birth. They grow rapidly in infancy, then gradually stop growing and sometimes resolve on their own.

2 There are three common types of infantile hemangiomas: port wine stains, sedge hemangiomas, and cavernous hemangiomas. Although most hemangiomas appear benign, they can still seriously damage surrounding tissues. Some hemangiomas grow in an invasive manner, causing cosmetic defects in children. Some of them may also lead to functional disorders. In rare cases, hemangiomas have the characteristics of malignant processes and may cause many complications such as ulceration, bleeding, infection, etc., and even endanger the life of the child.

4 For the treatment of port wine stains, strawberry hemangiomas and capillary hemangiomas, the best laser treatment device currently is the dual-wavelength vascular lesion cynergy workstation, which combines two independent laser heads, the high-energy pulse dye 585 laser and the 1064nm long-pulse Nd:YAG laser, into the same unit. Compared with traditional single-wavelength dye lasers, it can more effectively treat various types of blood vessels and various pigmented lesions, achieve better treatment results, produce significantly fewer side effects, and more effectively select personalized treatment plans based on the different conditions of different patients. It has a higher cure rate and an effective rate of over 95% for the treatment of port-wine stains, with a cure rate of over 80%. In particular, the cure rate for capillary hemangiomas and strawberry hemangiomas is over 98%, reaching an internationally leading level.

The above talks about how to treat hemangioma on the baby's head. I believe that after reading this, many parents will have a new understanding of it. So when your baby has these conditions, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment to prevent some bad situations from happening. After all, the baby is still young and has very poor resistance. He is still in a developmental stage, so parents cannot ignore these diseases.
