What is the hemoangioma?

A hemangioma is a benign tumor made up of blood vessels, commonly found in infants and children. They often appear as red or purple marks on the skin and can vary in size and location. Most hemangiomas grow rapidly during the first year of life but typically shrink and fade over time, often resolving completely by early childhood. While they are usually harmless, some may require medical intervention if they obstruct vision, breathing, or other functions.
