Overview
A hemangioma is a birthmark that grows during the first year of life and fades over time.
Symptoms
The birthmark often appears as a rubbery, bright red nodule of extra blood vessels. It can appear on the face, scalp, chest, or back.
Treatments
If a hemangioma interferes with vision or causes other symptoms, it can be treated with medicines or laser surgery.
