Methods for removing hemangiomas

With the development of medicine, a tool such as a laser has appeared.In the treatment of flat surface spots - the most effective thing.The principle of action is this: a laser beam can penetrate the skin a few centimeters, destroying the blood vessels of the tumor and not harming healthy tissues.But laser therapy is not always able to help.Just imagine the situation: the location of the hemangioma is the face, besides the tumor is rapidly increasing.In this case, the laser will solve the problem only partially.What to do then?To operate?But there will be a scar on his face.Let it be as it is?May damage the respiratory tract, mucous membranes, sensory organs.Under such circumstances, hormonal therapy is recommended that suppresses the tumor."Hormonal drugs?It's very harmful! "- parents will say, hoping to remove the tumor in a radical way - a scalpel.And they will be wrong.After all, it is important to realize that a child is easier to go with hemangioma in childhood, than to hate his cosmetic defect all his life.In addition, for the reduction of tumor growth, a short course of corticosteroids is prescribed.During this time, steroids simply can not cause the body any harm.Medicine knows another way to treat hemangioma - cryodestruction.Its essence lies in the processing of a speck of liquid nitrogen.

However, if the neoplasm is observed in a newborn, then this method is prohibited.

All is explained quite simply: the cryodestruction procedure leaves a noticeable trace, which even the cosmeticians-plastics can not remove.Therefore do not rush to cob a hateful speck.And again we come to the conclusion that it would be most reasonable to wait for the disappearance of the hemangioma.And if it comes to that, then you need to remember that it does not belong to the category of diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions

The reasons for the formation of hemangiomas are still unknown.Nobody will also accurately say whether the stain will increase in size, because the cycle of development of vascular tumors for medicine remains a big mystery.One thing that is for sure is that by the year 1 the hemangioma stops growing.Therefore, just survive 12 months, using some information.

• Can a tumor develop into a malignant one?Definitely not.Hemangiomas are not included in a number of oncological phenomena.Most pediatricians are advised not to sunbathe, but this is just reinsurance.Nowhere in the scientific literature is the destructive influence of ultraviolet rays on hemangiomas indicated.
• It is growing rapidly.Is this normal?The behavior of hemangiomas can be completely different.The main thing is that the crumb does not suffer from a tumor.The only thing you should avoid is damage.Hemangioma has a vascular nature, so intense bleeding can occur.And as a consequence - ulcers, suppuration.In such cases, the neoplasm is treatable.Pleasant news: this happens rarely enough.
• Can the hemangioma germinate inwards?This is perhaps the most common myth.To clarify the situation: 95% of the formations on the skin are superficial, the remaining 5% are cavernous( have a more aggressive nature, but germinate all the same outside).In world practice, removal of hemangiomas, located close to the respiratory tract, genital organs, anus and vision organs, occurs.
• Will there be a scar?In the world, under the surgical intervention, only 5% of hemangiomas are treated, in our country this happens more often.Of course, surgical manipulations leave a scar, but an independent tumor involution can leave a small hem.However, modern medicine and cosmetology can help in such a case.

In any case, you need to be cautious about hemangioma and observe "her behavior", constantly consulting with a doctor, whose child will be observed about this problem.
