Infant tumor blood vessels

This disease is a benign tumor that originates in the skin and blood vessels, and most often occur in infants or children. It is more common in the skin of the head and neck, but it can also occur in the mucous membranes, liver, brain, and muscles. The erythema nevus is most common. It appears at birth or within three months to six months after birth. It often occurs on the head, face, and neck, affecting the appearance of the baby. Generally, it grows rapidly in 2-8 months, causing parents to worry. Parents' patience coupled with close cooperation with physicians can sometimes be cured without treatment; however, dangerous infant hemangiomas, such as those that grow in the eyes, throat, and extremities, require special attention.
