Strawberry Hemangioma
Definition Strawberry hemangioma is a raised bright red spot, often small, usually soft and compressible, with well-defined borders. It gets its name from the fruit. It occurs most commonly on the face, scalp, chest or back. It may be present at birth but more often appears during the first one or two months of life. Strawberry hemangiomas occur in 1% to 3% of infants. In rare cases, they interfere with vital organs or are associated with life-threatening complications. Almost all strawberry hemangiomas go away by themselves by the time a kid is about 9 years old. Most children with hemangiomas have only one. Many have a few. Rarely, children may have many, both on the skin and in the internal organs. These vary in size from a few millimeters across to many centimeters. There is a sharp line between the Strawberry hemangioma and normal skin. These usually resolve with time. Causes
