my 5 month daughter has an hemangioma on the back of her neck,how big will it grow?


it seems to be growing really fast,the gp says it sould stop around 12 months,but if carrys on growing til then its gonna be really big.has anyone else had children with one?when did theirs stop growing and how big did it get?
----------

My daughter had one. When she was born she had a little red dot on her neck and it grew a little bit, but it stopped fairly quickly. I'd say within a month it was as big as it ever got. The pediatrician told me it would go away by the time she was 18 months old. She's 3 1/2 now and it is still there. It has went down a lot, but it is still there. At first I would get aggravated having to explain to everyone what it is, because to me I never noticed it and she was perfect. It gets easier with time having to explain it. Maybe you should get a second opinion. I do know that removing them is possible, but unless it is interfering with daily life they don't recommend it. Good luck!!  (+ info)

I popped a capillary in my eye, how long does it take to go away?


I have a cold and I guess I coughed to hard or something and popped a blood vessel. The blood is travling toward the center of my eye and spreading. How long does it take for it to go away and is it dangerous?
----------

I've done the same thing before.It usually will last about 3 days or so.You might want to try and rest your eyes if possible,even put a cold wash cloth over the eye.  (+ info)

If anyone out there has a baby with a hemangioma, please tell me if you have chosen treatment. And what type. ?


Do you know of any websites that are informative for hemangiomas?
----------

I was born with one and had it surgically removed at 9 (I think that they had tried to remove it unsuccessfully when I was baby), the surgeons advised my mother that I would be scared for approximately 18 months, I am now in my 30s and I still have a fairly prominent scar on my face from it.
Majority disappear on their own so I would advise not doing anything unless it is absolutely necessary, I wish mine had been left alone, I may be used to the scar now but I found it quite difficult whilst growing up.

does anyone know if hemangioma in the spine is cancer?


I have been diagnosed with a "body hemangioma" and am scared to death. they are sending me to a neuro surgeon.
----------

Most likely not cancer. I've read that about 10% of people have these - they are found at autopsy but didn't cause any problems when the person was alive. Sounds like yours is causing some problem, or else you wouldn't even know you had it!

Relax. Go see the neurosurgeon, and take care of it before it gets any worse. It may be treatable with a simple injection - only your neurosurgeon knows for sure!  (+ info)

OK fasting BG, 12 hour fasting, is there a big difference in capillary or venous draw?


Really it should be cheaper for me to use my meter than go to the doctor for a fasting BG. (not to be confused with a hA1c.
----------

I am sincerely sorry that I must respectfully disagree with The Orange Evil and Noccie both of whom have offered excellent answers in the past. With early glucometers there was an approximately 15% difference between blood glucose and capillary glucose (obtained by glucometers). The capillary glucose readings of all modern glucometers offer results identical to blood glucose. As evidence of this all physicians make use of glucometers in their office. It is much less expensive for you to measure your glucose than to have blood drawn in the physician's office. I much prefer this and ask my patients to email me their glucose readings every week or month depending upon whether they are type 1 or type 2 and depending upon their level of control. I still see my diabetic patients every 3 months but this is more for a glycated hemoglobin A1C than a blood glucose. The glycated hemoglobin A1C gives the 90 day mean (average) glucose. As an academic physician I feel an obligation to point out that although the vast majority of laboratories report this as a 'glycosylated' hemoglobin A1C this is biochemically incorrect according to the International Journal of Biomedical Nomenclature which quotes the rather poetic description of glycation in M. Roth's 'Glycated Hemoglobin' in Clinical Chemistry 1983. If I may be of further assistance please let me know. I wish you the very best of health and in all things may God bless.  (+ info)
