Hemangiomas can be removed using laser therapy or treated with the medication propranolol. Generally, hemangiomas are not harmful to health but may affect appearance; they commonly occur on the head, face, and neck. Areas with hemangiomas should be protected from prolonged sun exposure. A balanced diet is recommended, avoiding fried and spicy foods, and maintaining a positive, relaxed mood.
