General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be hemangioma. It is nothing but a malformation of blood vessel. In most cases it will settle by itself. If problem persists better to consult a vascular surgeon and get evaluated. In some cases surgical correction or sclerotherapy may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
