Haemangioma of infancy or ’strawberry mark’
Another name for a strawberry mark is haemangioma of infancy. The typical characteristics include:
They are red, raised and lumpy areas.
They usually appear at around one to four weeks of age, then get bigger – sometimes quite quickly – for a few months.
They stop growing between six and 十二 months of age, then gradually disappear over the next few years.
The skin of the birthmark is as strong as any other skin. It might rarely bleed if knocked hard or scratched, or develop an ulcer on the surface and need to be treated.
Sometimes, the strawberry mark may grow on the face, near the eye. If it pushes on the eye, it needs urgent treatment or the child may not develop normal vision.
It is not possible to predict exactly how big a strawberry mark will grow before it stabilises and eventually starts to disappear. If diagnosed within the first weeks of life, laser therapy will most likely make the marks disappear. While expanding, a number of medications can be used to stop its growth.
If the haemangioma has already stopped growing, then no treatment may be necessary. Some will regress and disappear spontaneously by the age of two years, about 60 per cent by five years, and 90 to 95 per cent by nine years. I If they are large, disfiguring, block vision or start to ulcerate, they should be referred to a dermatologist for i妹妹ediate treatment.
