What are Hemangiomas?
Hemangioma is a benign tumor that forms when a group of vessels grows in the skin. Generally, they are present at birth but sometimes develop during the first few months of life. In this condition, a bright red or purplish mark appears in the lower back, face, or any other area of the body. They appear as a big rubbery bump on the surface of the skin. Therefore, it affects the appearance and interferes with different functions of the body such as vision, and breathing. Some of them go on their own after a few years but this happens rarely.
Types of Hemangiomas:
Sometimes, they develop in the underneath layer of skin which causes a lot of pain and irritation. A child may have more than one bump appearing anywhere on the body. Whenever you see it, it is best to have a treatment as soon as possible. Depending on how they look, Hemangiomas have three main types:
1. Superficial Hemangiomas:
These Hemangiomas form on the top layer of the skin. At first, they appear as red flat birthmarks but over time they grow and become raised.
2. Deep Hemangiomas:
They grow inside the skin and appear as a purplish swelling but with a firm surface.
3. Mixed Hemangiomas:
They have characteristics of both superficial and deep Hemangiomas.

Doctors recommend topical creams and gels to free the skin from hemangioma. It is a non-invasive method of treating hemangiomas. Use prescribed gels on time to get optimal results. This option is best for smaller and superficial hemangiomas. Beta-blocker medications are very popular in treating them.
Laser Treatment:
An outpatient procedure that needs 25-35 minutes for its completion. It is minimally invasive therefore can cause mild discomfort during the process. Local anesthesia will be applied to reduce the risk of discomfort. Laser beams of a single wavelength are introduced on the problem site to target the cells of lesions. The heat energy generated by the laser breaks down the hemangioma and removes it. The patient should have to take multiple sessions to see the best results of the treatment. It has no downtime and, therefore, is a preferred choice of most of the doctors.
