Symptoms of capillary hemangioma in babies

Hemangioma is a very common disease, which has a great impact on the body. If you suffer from hemangioma, you must seek treatment in time, otherwise it will cause great damage to the body when the disease becomes serious. What should you do if your baby has capillary hemangioma? To improve your baby's capillary hemangioma, you must first understand its symptoms so that you can choose the correct treatment method when treating the disease.

Symptoms of capillary hemangioma in babies:

The eyelids are the site of high incidence of hemangiomas, and the speed and extent of damage to the eyelids can be determined by the color at the initial onset.

1. If the redness is lighter and disappears immediately when you touch it with your fingers, it usually occurs before puberty and will not damage the thickening and deformation of the eyelids.

2. When hemangioma is first formed, it is bright red in color. Pressing the affected area with your fingers will make all the redness disappear, but it is heavier than the former. This hemangioma mostly destroys the eyelid with thickening and deformation during adolescence.

3. The color is dark red at birth. Pressing the affected area with fingers cannot completely eliminate the redness. The red pieces have a three-dimensional effect. This degree of hemangioma will cause varying degrees of damage, thickening and deformation of the eyelids during childhood.

Disease characteristics:

Symptom 1: Strawberry capillary hemangioma. A small number of children are born with round or oval patches of varying sizes, which are composed of scattered red spots fused or incompletely fused, and are not raised above the skin surface or are slightly raised above the skin surface. The surface is slightly rough, and most of them are just tiny red dots, which expand and merge into blocks, often 3-4 mm above the skin, bright red, and with many granular surfaces, similar to strawberries, hence the name. Some strawberry hemangiomas can regress on their own, usually between the ages of 1 and 4 years. However, only a small number of strawberry hemangiomas can regress. Most hemangiomas cannot regress on their own, so close observation is required.

Symptom 2: Port wine stain, also known as port wine stain. It is more common on the face, with a small number located on the trunk or limbs. It is light red to dark red, or dark purple, and does not protrude above the skin surface. The range of the lesion expands as the child grows and will not disappear on its own. Some patients have concurrent systemic abnormalities such as glaucoma.

Symptom 3: Orange spots, commonly found on the forehead, upper eyelids, between the eyebrows, around the nose or around the neck and jaw. It is orange-red or light red, does not protrude from the skin, and fades with light pressure. It increases slightly as the child grows, but the color does not deepen. Most of them disappear on their own within a few months and do not require treatment. At birth, the affected area has a large number of capillaries protruding from the skin in the form of dots or patches, and the epidermis is uneven. It develops very quickly. If not treated and controlled in time, the organ affected by the hemangioma or the surrounding organs will be damaged within a short period of time (half a year). A small number of them can quickly develop into mixed hemangiomas. Capillary hemangiomas look similar to red birthmarks in their early stages, but most appear about half a month after birth. They grow rapidly within 6 months, becoming 3-5 mm above the skin, purple-red in color, and gradually turning bright red. Most of them are absorbed at the age of 2-3 years, and may partially (completely) disappear by school age.

After understanding the symptoms of baby's capillary hemangioma, these should be paid attention to when treating baby's capillary hemangioma. In addition, during the treatment of baby's capillary hemangioma, comprehensive attention should be paid to the baby's body. If the baby's body shows abnormalities, it should be checked immediately to avoid causing other problems in the baby's body.
