Read this if you're planning to undergo facial infantile hemangioma treatment in India and looking for the best hospital for treatment.

1. Infantile hemangioma is a birthmark that consists of a dense and
tangled group of blood vessels that grows in or under an infant’s skin.
There are two types of Hemangiomas found in babies:
CONGENITAL HEMANGIOMAS
These hemangiomas are visible at birth but are not as common and are
treated differently than infantile hemangiomas.
INFANTILE HEMANGIOMAS
These hemangiomas may take a few days or weeks after the baby’s
birth to be visible. They grow differently and are more common than
congenital hemangiomas.
Infantile Hemangiomas are further divided into two main types:

2. SUPERFICIAL HEMANGIOMAS
Also known as ‘strawberry hemangiomas’ for their bumpy red
appearance, these hemangiomas grow on the skin’s surface.
DEEP HEMANGIOMAS
These hemangiomas grow under the skin, often making it bulge with a
blue or purple tint.
WHAT IS FACIAL HEMANGIOMA SURGERY FOR INFANTILE?
Most facial infantile hemangioma cases do not require medical or
surgical intervention and subside independently. But if medical care is
needed, it’s based on the location of the hemangioma and the extent to
which it could cause problems. Even then, the treatment is limited to
oral, topical, and intralesional medications.
Topical beta-blockers such as Timolol or an oral solution of propranolol
are often advised for small and superficial hemangiomas. If beta-
blockers fail, the doctor might prescribe oral corticosteroids. But only in
extreme cases where the lesion could damage surrounding healthy
tissues the doctor might recommend surgery to remove the
hemangioma by making an incision in the skin and cutting the tumor
out.

3. WHAT CAUSES FACIAL HEMANGIOMA IN BABIES?
Facial infantile hemangiomas are quite common in premature babies
and children with low birth weight or are part of multiple births, i.e.,
twins, triplets, etc. While it’s unlikely to be genetic, there are instances
where facial hemangioma may run in families.
