The main symptoms of hemangiomas include the following aspects: 1. Skin or subcutaneous elevation: Hemangiomas typically present as red nodules on the skin or beneath it, gradually developing into red, firm, swollen masses that may be prominently raised. 2. Color change: The skin surface of a hemangioma is usually deep red, bluish purple, or purplish red, and the color may gradually darken over time. 3. Swelling and pain: When a hemangioma is large or severe, it may cause excessive local blood flow, leading to a sensation of swelling and pain. 4. Bleeding: Rupture of a hemangioma may lead to bleeding, with varying amounts of blood loss. Hemangiomas located on the body surface are particularly prone to trauma and subsequent bleeding. If suspected, prompt medical consultation and diagnosis are recommended.
