Does anyone have a child with a hemangioma and if so did it ever go away and how big did it get?

Answer 1

i dont think it goes away the only thing it can do is stay the same or grow larger. you need to either talk to your pediatrician about this or you need to do dome majior research on this and find a specialist. check this website:

Answer 2

My youngest had two hemangiomas. Both were compound (deep and surface components), and the one on her face was quite large. My child is not a good case to use as a reference, however, as her case was unusual (very rapid growth, required steroids, plus she has had two surgeries).

I know a number of children who had hemangiomas that were of a more typical size (ranging from the size of a dime to a half dollar). All of them eventually involuted, but the time they took to involute varied from about three to ten years. The ones that involuted faster (by age three or four) left a better cosmetic result. Also, hemangiomas that only had a surface component left a better result and tended to involute faster. You can also look at www.birthmark.org (Vascular Birthmark Foundation) for more information.
