| | Hemangiomas can be surgically removed (excised), although surgery is reserved for critical cases and for those in which the surgical scar is more cosmetically acceptable than that left by natural regression. | | | Similarly, when a hemangioma blocks the oral or nasal passages, or the genital or anal areas, treatment is critical. | | | Lasers can be used to treat hemangiomas, but their effectiveness has not been established. |

| | The unique immunobiology of the placental trophoblast and the increased incidence of hemangiomas in infants born after chorionic villus sampling suggest that an immunologically regulated ectopic focus of trophoblasts could be the cell of origin for proliferative infantile hemangiomas. | | | Systemic corticosteroid treatment seems to be effective for problematic cutaneous hemangiomas of infancy. | | | The decision to use specific therapies was dependent on the age of the patient, as well as the location, size, and stage of growth or involution of the hemangioma. |

| | I also think that some hemangioma's can be treated successfully with plastic surgery, sparing the child and the parents unnecessary pain and hardship. | | | One of the nurses mentioned that she had heard that you could treat hemangioma's with laser treatment so I mentioned this to the neonatologist. | | | However, I do encourage parents to research it themselves and come to their own conclusions about what may be the best treatment option (or lack of treatment) for their child. |
