I am so worried about my baby boy. He is only one month old but already has health issues. There is a strawberry birthmark on his left eye causing pressure! Doctors are still not sure if that will affect his vision but I am not willing to wait. What can be done about this hemangioma?

Well, there are many different opinions about this matter, even among doctors. Many old school doctors would tell you that it should pass on its own as he gets older but some would say that direct fast approach now when he is young is the best. There are even some hormonal therapies that some people tried ant it was relatively successful. But, considering the eye, I assume that you have to act now.
