When should a hemangioma be treated?
This is the most fundamental question. We believe that all hemangiomas should be seen by a specialist in this field. Most cities will have a Vascular Anomalies team of physcians. We strongly urge that the child be seen at one of these centers. In many instances, early laser treatment can prevent a hemangioma from developing. All to often, the child is seen too late for this. It is therefore important that the child be seen early. In all but the small hemangiomas, some form of treatment will help.
