It is advisable to visit a local正规 hospital for an accurate diagnosis of the hemangioma's nature once it has grown larger. If the hemangioma is benign, treatment can be carried out under medical guidance using topical medications, such as propranolol cream. If the hemangioma is malignant, drugs like bleomycin or pingyangmycin may be used. Additionally, if medication proves ineffective, surgical intervention can be considered, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy as needed.
