Suggest Treatment For Hemangioma

I am researching hemangioma as my grand daughter was born with one on her back. Honestly, I have never heard of it. When she was born, it was the size of a fingernail. Now, she was born on January 2, 2015, it is the size of a half-dollar. So, I just wanted to obtain information about it and possible treatment options.

HI If it is hemangioma, a vascular ma formation and not associated with any other symptoms, no need to worry as Hemangiomas will usually regress by themselves by 1-2 yrs age.Only, treatmentis needed, if they are present on the face and obscuring the vision or rapidly increasing in size
