Do hemangiomas go away on their own?
Disease description:
After the child was born, a hemangioma appeared on their body. The family said it should disappear on its own. I would like to ask, can hemangiomas resolve spontaneously?

Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Small hemangiomas may spontaneously regress as the child grows older. However, if the hemangioma appears as an ill-defined red or purple patch accompanied by symptoms such as increased skin temperature and pain, and is relatively large, it generally will not disappear on its own. In such cases, timely medical treatment at a hospital is recommended, with treatment options—such as laser therapy, medication, interventional therapy, or surgery—chosen under a doctor's guidance.
