Hemangiomas  are simply a collection of extra blood vessels in the skin. The word is derived from "hemangio" meaning blood vessel and "oma" meaning tumor. It is a benign growth. They may have different appearances depending on the depth of the increased numbers of blood vessels.(S)

Hemangioma

Superficial or "strawberry" hemangiomas often are not treated. When they are allowed to disappear on their own, the result is usually normal-appearing skin. In some cases, a laser may be used to remove the small vessels.

Cavernous hemangiomas that involve the eyelid and block vision are generally treated with steroid injections or laser treatments. These quickly reduce the size of the lesions, allowing vision to develop normally. Large cavernous hemangiomas or mixed hemangiomas may be treated with oral steroids and injections of steroids directly into the hemangioma.
