Hemangioma on hand

The hands are one of the parts of the body where hemangiomas are more likely to occur. It is also a common phenomenon to have hemangiomas during surgery. Although everyone knows that hemangiomas are benign tumors or vascular malformations, they should be treated in a timely manner after they are developed. If a baby has a hemangioma, the hemangioma will grow with the development of the body, which will have a great impact on physical health.

Hemangioma type on the hand : Strawberry hemangioma on the finger: Strawberry hemangioma is the dilation of dermal and subcutaneous capillaries, forming a raised surface that is dark red in color. It will continue to expand and gradually disappear before school age. Strawberry hemangioma is usually a small nodular tumor that protrudes from the skin surface. It is bright red or dark red in color and clearly demarcated from normal skin. Normally, the blood vessels in the skin of newborns are crisscrossed and well developed, forming a rich capillary network. The epidermis is relatively thin, only 1.2 mm (2.1 mm for adults), so once the skin is infected, it can easily spread through the blood to the whole body and cause sepsis.

Finger cavernous hemangioma: Cavernous hemangioma is a branch of hemangioma disease and is also a common hemangioma disease. Although cavernous hemangioma is a benign tumor, its harm is extremely serious. Cavernous hemangioma can occur in any part of the human body. If it grows on the face, it will have a very serious impact on the patient's appearance. Mixed hemangioma of fingers: Mixed hemangioma is a benign hemangioma that is a combination of capillary hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma and other types of hemangiomas, two or more of which exist together. It is a common type of hemangioma that often occurs on the face and neck, but can also occur in other parts of the body. They are usually present at birth and initially resemble strawberry-shaped capillary hemangiomas, but they quickly extend beyond the skin and penetrate deep into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

Treatment of hemangioma on the hand 1. It is not recommended to wait and observe for hemangioma, because as the child grows, the hemangioma will also grow larger and larger. It is very destructive. Generally, it occurs on the superficial surface and is easy to rupture and cause bleeding. Over time, it can develop deep under the skin, causing deformities in the affected area of the child and affecting the normal shape and function. 2. Superficial hemangiomas can occur in various parts of the human body surface. They are mostly red, black, or blue in color and irregular in shape, or convex, or varicose, or winding, etc. Most of them occur in exposed positions, seriously affecting the patient's appearance. If they occur in functional positions, they are likely to affect some functions and even cause disability. It seriously affects the appearance and causes great harm to the patient's body and mind. 3. The treatment of hemangioma on the hand depends on its type. If it is a capillary hemangioma on the skin, it generally does not have much impact on the function, but only affects the appearance. The second type of cavernous hemangioma occurs on the hands. The expansion of the local tumor will have a certain impact on the function of the hand. If it is a vascular malformation, such as arteriovenous fistula in the upper limb, this type of vascular malformation will cause the upper limb to thicken and grow, which will have a greater impact on the function.
