Answer 1

Hemangiomas usually involute {shrink away} in time. 30 percent of hemangiomas will resolve by 3 years of age 50 percent by 5 years of age, and 80 percent-90 percent by 9 years of age. Hemangiomas in certain areas may have a higher risk of complications. These areas include the face {especially nose and lips}. In that case treatment may be required.
