Hemangioma / Hematoma Treatment in Chicago

A hemangioma/hematoma is a hematological condition that appears as a bruise or tumor made up of vascular tissues. A hematoma looks like a bruise and is normally caused by a trauma or accident. A hemangioma, on the other hand, is a bright red birthmark. It looks like a rubbery bump or flat red patch and is made up of extra blood vessels in the skin. The mark shows up at birth or in the first month of life.

Hemangioma Treatment A healthcare provider is able to diagnose a hemangioma/hematoma by simply looking at it. Even though a hemangioma goes away with time, it may cause complications for the patient especially if it is located at a prominent part of the body such as the lip or face.
