Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
9 weeks old baby boy with strawberry type color on scrotum, very very red and very very sore. One name given for this is Haemangioma. Ointment being applied but not helping the soreness. We know this will slowly dissappear over a couple of years, but in the meantime, the redness and soreness of this is rather disturbing. Is there a super ointment that may help.

Hello, Thank you for contacting to healthcare magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.
No, There is no super ointment that can help.
There are two options available to you in this matter either you can wait, give time to it to disappear. In second option you can do surgical correction.
But I advice you to wait for some time to disappear.
You can maintain good hygiene to prevent infection and liquid paraffin for friction prevention.
Please use only cotton undergarments as it can help you prevent further infection.
