Because some hemangiomas (especially some infantile hemangiomas) can subside by themselves, but the time of natural regression is sometimes difficult to determine, and there are often different degrees of scars or pigmentation after regression.
Therefore, clinicians generally classify the risk level according to the growth site, type, size and speed of the tumor and give corresponding diagnosis and treatment suggestions, among which:
High risk hemangioma
For hemangiomas around the eyes, mouth, nose, throat and other important tissues and organs, timely treatment is needed regardless of the size of the tumor.
Medium risk hemangioma
For hemangiomas in cheeks, hands and feet, neck, armpit, groin and other parts, early medical intervention should also be carried out because they are easy to ulcerate.
Low risk hemangioma
For the torso and extremities < Superficial hemangiomas with a slow growth rate of 5 cm can be followed up regularly and treated with topical drugs.
It should be noted that some low-risk hemangiomas have the risk of disfigurement, and the rapid development of tumors may also become medium-risk or even high-risk hemangiomas, so whether to receive treatment sometimes requires the rational choice of parents or patients.
