Brief Answer:
Wait and observe.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Most often hemangiomas gradually subside/fade with time. I understand that the shape is not exactly like that of others but I would not recommend surgery. I would rather insist you to wait and watch.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
