If a child has a birthmark, most parents think it is a "small matter". Many people think that the "birthmark" is diagnosed with hemangioma, and the parents are anxious again. Parents, please pay attention to me. The birthmark may not be the "small birthmark" you think, and there may be hemangiomas. Parents should avoid blindly or waiting, and miss treatment. When the disease causes harm to their children, it will be too late to regret it!
Baby's three birthmarks. Be careful that it is a hemangioma
01
01
The bigger the skin, the bigger it is/the "birthmark" that protrudes the skin
Many parents mistakenly think it is a birthmark and find that the child's skin has small red dots and red bumps, but they do not pay attention to it, until the "birthmark" grows bigger and even protrudes the skin. In fact, hemangioma is a common disease in infants and young children. About half of the children appear two weeks after birth or until one year old. They can grow on all parts of the body, and are common in the skin surfaces of the head, face, neck, and limbs.
02
"birthmark" with high skin temperature
hemangioma is a disease caused by congenital abnormal vascular development. It has rich blood circulation and a slightly higher temperature in the affected area.
03
Press the faded "birthmark"
The simplest way to distinguish hemangioma and birthmark is to press the fading method. When pressing the hemangioma, the color of the affected area will decrease. After release, the skin becomes pale or similar to the color of the surrounding skin, and the shape will recover immediately.
After the child is born, parents should check whether there are any abnormalities on the body surface when bathing the child. Once they find small bumps, small red dots, red moles, and red spots, they should pay attention to the recording of the color, size, and color changes of the press. Once abnormalities are found, seek medical attention in time.
