Strawberry Hemangioma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The strawberry hemangioma is a type of benign vascular birthmark of the skin, common in babies, formed by a cluster of small blood vessels that gives it a reddish, raised appearance resembling a strawberry.
How does it look? It appears as a bright red lesion, slightly raised, that is usually noticed in the first weeks or months of life.
Typical behavior: many grow during an initial period and then tend to stabilize naturally over time.
Proper follow-up: its evaluation falls to the dermatologist, the pediatric dermatologist, or the pediatrician, and when there is a cosmetic concern the aesthetic physician may step in. If the lesion grows quickly, bleeds, or is located in a delicate area, it is worth showing it to a professional for guidance.
