HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR HEMANGIOMA
A hemangioma is a birthmark that most commonly appears as a
rubbery, bright red nodule of extra blood vessels in the skin.
Sometimes
called a strawberry mark, a hemangioma grows during the first year of life, and
then recedes over time. A child who had a hemangioma during infancy usually has
little visible trace of the growth by age 10.
A
hemangioma can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly appears on the
face, scalp, chest or back. Treatment of a hemangioma usually isn't needed,
unless the nodule interferes with vision or breathing.
Causes
A hemangioma consists of an abnormally dense group of extra
blood vessels. It's not clear what causes the blood vessels to group together,
although there may be a hereditary component involved.
Symptoms
Hemangioma may be
present at birth, but more often appears during the first several months of
life. It starts out as a flat red mark anywhere on the body, most often on the
face, scalp, chest or back. Usually a child has only one mark, but some
children may have more than one, particularly if they're part of a multiple
birth.
During your child's first year, the red mark grows rapidly and
becomes a spongy mass that protrudes from the skin. The hemangioma then enters
a rest phase and, eventually, it begins to slowly disappear.
Half
of all hemangiomas resolve by age 5, and nearly all hemangiomas are resolved by
age 10. Although the color of the birthmark also fades, faint — but permanent —
discoloration of the skin or residual extra skin may remain.Hemangiomas occur
more often in females, premature babies, white infants
