Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Hemangioma is a a harmless Tumour of the blood vessels and although does not cause any discomfort but can be unpleasant in appearance..

There are other treatments modalities that can be done that will help in regression of lesion can be Steroid injection that can help in regression of lesion..
Sclerosing agents can also be used to regress the lesion..
Lazers can be used to reduce the size of the hemangioma while at times complete removal can also be done with it..
If nothing works the last resort is surgery..

Therefore I would suggest you to consult a General Surgeon and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in deciding the further course of treatment..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
