Hi
Welcome to the HCM
It seems that your baby has cutaneous hemangioma. Hemangiomas are the most common tumors of infancy and usually are medically insignificant.The vast majority of infantile hemangiomas do not require any medical or surgical intervention. They gradually improve with age. In case, you feel that the hemangioma is leading to problems such as breathing problems, vision obstruction or significant disfigurement, then you may consult a surgeon.
Treatment options for clinically significant hemangiomas include the following:
-Laser surgery
-Surgical excision
-Medication
Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you out in any future health related questions.
Take care
