Hemangiomas

Hemangiomas are abnormal clusters of blood vessels that form a growth on the skin, appearing as red, purple, or blue marks. They are most commonly found in infants, but adults can also develop them, though less frequently. While most hemangiomas resolve on their own as the child grows, some may require treatment if they cause problems with vision, breathing, or other vital functions. Village Family Medicine PC specializes in the diagnosis and management of hemangiomas, providing comprehensive care and options for treatment when necessary.

Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors made of blood vessels that usually appear as red or purple spots on the skin. In infants, these growths can grow quickly before shrinking over time. While most hemangiomas go away on their own, treatment may be needed if the growth interferes with critical structures like the eyes or airways. Professional care ensures proper diagnosis and management to prevent complications. At Village Family Medicine PC, we focus on providing treatment options, including observation, medications, or procedures to reduce the size of the hemangioma if necessary. Early intervention can prevent further complications and provide peace of mind.
