Hemangioma on baby face
Dear Doctors,My baby daughter has hemangioma near her right eye.
It appeared one week after birth.
All the doctors, including her pediatrician say that it will go away and we should do nothing, but I am worried that it will grow more.
Here is a description of my baby as per one example that I found on this site:
1. Age,sex,weight,body and face appearance, country.
ANS. 1 month 18 days, female, almost 5 kg, top of growth chart, light skin, light hair, skin is clear (btw today i noticed a small rush on the left cheek), pregnancy in Macedonia, baby born in France, Nice
2. Main complaints and other associated troubles.
a) Where is the trouble; The exact locality of the complaint like hands,legs etc; duration of trouble.
ANS. Below right eyebrow, appeared one week after birth. No visible mark at birth. At the begging looked like a scratch, then became wider and started to raise up.
b) What exactly do child feels, Sensation as pain, how pain feels or burn etc, according to you.
ANS. apparently child has no issues
c)What are the factors that causes this trouble according to you.
ANS. My age - I gave birth just before turning 38, living in a polluted city during pregnancy, stress during pregnancy (these are just guesses, cannot tell for sure). Baby was born 2 weeks before the due date.
d)Condition under which the complaint is reduced or child feels better like,cold or hot application,cold or hot weather,position as standing,walking,rest etc.
ANS. n/a
e)Condition under which the complaint is increased like,cold or hot application,cold or hot weather,position as standing,walking,rest etc.
ANS. It seems like when she cries it becomes more red, but this is just temporary
f)Any other complaint any where in the body.
ANS. Baby has colic
g)Onset time of troubles in detail, i.e which came first, after that what problem and so on.
ANS. We noticed the colic first, since the first days, and while in the hospital too
h)Treatment method adopted and its result.
ANS. At around 4 weeks, after consulting a local homeopath, she was given Camomila 30, once daily, for two days. Dosage was minimal – 3-4 globules each time from a monodose box (one globule is a size of a small sand particle). Preparation powder was given for the hemangioma (Hammamelis 4CH, Aesculus hipp 4CH, Bellis Perennis 4 CH, Vipera redi 4 CH , Fluoricum acidum 4 CH)) to be given 3 times daily for one month, I gave it only one week, than I stopped. Once a week I give Calcarea fluorica 9CH and THUYA 9CH, 3 weeks till now. For colic, I gave last week Colocintys 30, 2 times per day, for 2 days.
Colic seems to have improved.
3. History of diseases in family.
ANS. Mother (me) had episodes of depressive mood, and anxiety with panic attacks. Also allergies to grass/plants/spring blossoms in the past. Father only slight issue with blood pressure.

ANS Baby is taken care of mostly by mother with the help of the grandmother. Father works till 7 pm. But avoids interaction when baby cries. Baby by default cries between 6 pm and 9.30 pm, so interaction with father is minimal. Grandmother talks a lot to the baby and she seems to like it. She has half-brother of almost 8 years, whose attitude is neutral. But she doesn’t smile a lot.

ANS. Very good appetite, newer throws up, even when overfeed she keeps food. Tends to breastfeed more when nervous, but it gives more colic

When she starts crying, she needs to be lifted up immediately, or begins to scream, toys or music rarely helps. Doesn’t want to stay alone in her bed, at night sleeps with mother and mother just changes sides around her for breastfeeding. Rarely cries at night, but if starts crying needs a small promenade in the arms.
