Some parents find that their babies have red spots on their eyelids after birth, and as the baby grows larger, this red spot becomes bigger and darker, which is called a hemangioma. Many parents are worried that vascular tumors will affect their babies' bodies and are very anxious. So, will the hemangioma on the baby's eyelids fade?
In general, a hemangioma on a baby's eyelid will not resolve on its own unless it is not a hemangioma. So, if parents are not sure what this is, it's best to go to the hospital and ask a doctor for a check-up to ensure that the baby's body is in good condition. Hemangiomas usually grow around the eyes and can affect the patient's vision. Moreover, as the hemangioma grows, it can compress the eyeball and cause other symptoms to appear. So when parents discover that their baby has a vascular tumor, they must seek timely treatment.
Hemangioma usually occurs before the baby turns one year old during the proliferative period, during which it develops rapidly. Therefore, early treatment is necessary for better health, lower treatment difficulty, and cheaper treatment costs for the baby. However, babies with vascular tumors are mainly caused by congenital vascular development abnormalities when they are in the mother's uterus. It is mainly divided into two types of hemangioma, one is capillary hemangioma, and the other is sponge hemangioma.
If it is a capillary hemangioma, it is mainly red or purple red, flat and oval shaped, sometimes protruding from the skin, and does not cause pain when in contact. Sponge like hemangioma, mainly caused by abnormal development of veins, often occurs in childhood and appears blue purple in color with different shapes.
