Red bump on head

2022-04-18 09:44:39
My baby is 3 month's old. She has a red bump on head. We noticed this from day 6. Pediatrics told me that is a hemangioma. Should I worry about that? And what is the treatment for that? I have attached the picture.

It is on scalp and red zone area, better to get Usg skull and then take a consult with skin specialist or neurologist

Hemangiomas usually stop growing in size from 5-6 months and may stay the same size or disappear over time. By 10 years, they usually disappear. It is not life threatening. If it increases in size, it may require treatment. Book an appointment with me to discuss further. You can follow me on Instagram @pediatrician_india for more helpful tips ! Take care !
