What are the hazards of scalp cystic hemangioma in infants?

When the baby's head is developing, it is easy to develop hemangioma disease, which will have a certain impact on the baby's sleep and exercise, and as the baby grows older, it will also cause damage to the baby's appearance. Therefore, this disease can only be treated in the early stage to reduce the degree of damage to the body. So let's take a look at the hazards of baby's scalp cystic hemangioma.

First, what are the hazards of scalp cystic hemangioma in infants? The early symptoms of head hemangioma are not obvious. It manifests as a soft lump on the head. The lump increases when the child's head is in a low position or when crying, and shrinks when the child is in an upright position. There is no special abnormality on the surface of the skin on the head which is located deeper, and because of the symptoms of hair covering it, it is easily covered and is often discovered several months after birth, which is not conducive to timely detection of the disease.

Second, some newborns' head hemangiomas will not disappear on their own, but will only grow without restriction, affecting the appearance of the head and face and causing deformities. If they rupture or are improperly treated, they will leave sequelae such as scars. Hemangiomas on the head can cause space-occupying lesions, compress nerves, tendons, other tissues and organs, and cause complications such as pain and deformity.

What are the dangers of cystic hemangioma on the infant's scalp? Hemangioma on the head 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 expanding hemangioma tissue. It can invade deep tissues and in severe cases cause thrombocytopenia, which is life-threatening. Hemangioma on the head is not easy to find because it is covered by hair. It often manifests as a soft lump on the head. The lump increases when the child's head is in a low position or when crying, and shrinks when the child is in an upright position. The tumor has an irregular shape and is dark red or purple in color. Within 6 months after birth, the tumor grows rapidly and is extremely invasive, destroying adjacent normal tissues. In severe cases, the eyelids, lips, nose, ears and other tissues may be covered by the expanding hemangioma tissue.
