Hemangiomy

What are hemangiomas?

• Benign growths caused by the proliferation of small blood vessels.
• They can be flat or raised.
• Their color ranges from bright red to dark purple.
• Their size varies from tiny dots to larger deposits.
• They most commonly appear on the face, neck, chest, or limbs.

Why do hemangiomas develop?

The exact cause is not always known. In children, they are often congenital vascular formations, while in adults they can develop gradually due to hormonal changes, genetic predisposition, or spontaneously.

Are hemangiomas dangerous?

In most cases, they are harmless and represent more of a cosmetic problem. However, they can grow, bleed, or be exposed to mechanical irritation (e.g., shaving or rubbing against clothing). Therefore, it is advisable to have them examined by a specialist.
