Can Prednisolone Help To Cure The Birth Mark Or Hemangioma?

Hello, My 10 month old daughter ( Baran ) was born with a birthmark of 1.3cm depth on her face. unfortunately her doctor is not too much responsible for her situation. I want to know whether she can use prednisolone since she has small heart problem according to her Doc.
Her hemangioma is almost big and according to me, it should get cured asap...
help me to find an answer to start her treatment

Hello
Welcome to healthcaremagic
No.oral prednisolone can not be given and will not decrease her birth mark.If you don't want it then u can get it removed from plastic surgeon.second option is intralesional injection of medicines to shrink it.
Best is to leave it as it is.But if it starts increasing in size then seek medical advice.
Hemangioma on face are sometimes associated with defects in brain.So that should be monitored.If it is big then MRI brain should be done to look for any abnormality.
Regards
