How to get rid of my five-year old daughter's hemangioma on the neck which is about 1 cm long?

Answer 1

Superficial or "strawberry" hemangiomas often are not treated. When they are allowed to disappear on their own, the result is usuaully normal-appearing skin. In some cases, a laser may be used to eradicate the small vessels.

Cavernous hemangiomas that involve the eyelid and obstruct vision are generally treated with injections of steroids or laser treatments that rapidly reduce the size of the lesions, allowing normal vision to develop. Large cavernous hemangiomas or mixed hemangiomas are treated, when appropriate, with oral steroids and injections of steroids directly into the hemangioma.

Recently, lasers have been used to reduce the bulk of the hemangiomas. Lasers emitting yellow light selectively damage the vessels in the hemangioma without damaging the overlying skin. Some physicians are using a combination of steroid injection and laser therapy together.

My daughter had "stork bites" all up and down her spine until she was eight or nine years old. We got turned in to Child Protective Services every time we got a new baby sitter.
Actually, we were happy that the sitters were that conscientious.

Answer 3

It will go away on its own - 90% are gone by the time the child is 9 years old
