What Causes Red Spot On Tongue Of Baby?

Hi, my newborn has a little red spot on the tip of her tongue, which looks like hemangioma but has not grown so far (she is 1 month old). I noticed it on the second day of her birth. Is it possible that she has hemangioma there and if yes what are the consequences?

Hi.
Thanks for the query..

A red spot on the tongue tip of your infant can be an inflamed papillae while it can also be due to causes like Hemangioma formation..
It is a malformation of the blood vessels and will bleed on slight stimulation only..

In case if it is a Hemangioma then it can be treated with Sclerosing agents ad in case if it does not get better then surgical removal of the same can help..

In case if it is an inflamed papillae then doing cool compresses can help..

For confirmation of the same consult a Pedodontist and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
