Suggest Remedy To Prevent Growth Of Red Birthmark In Infant
My one month old daughter has lymphangioma and a red birthmark-like on the site of the swelling. There was no red mark on her ear and theres no swelling on her lower right ear when she came out but a week later the mark appeared and the week after the swelling started. The doctor i consulted said he can t touch it or do something about it because its congenital, they can only intervene when she will have difficulty breathing and swallowing already. Is there anyway to stop that to grow because im worried already her face might get deformed.
Hi...by what you quote this seems to be a capillary hemangioma. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Usually if it is rapidly increasing in size then it can got the risk of getting ulcerated and hence if I were your paediatrician I would take a decision on whether to start oral Propranolol or not as it has been proved to be very effective in many cases I dealt with.
