Treatment for hemangiomas Treatment for hemangiomas depends on their size, location, and severity. Treatment is usually not recommended for small, noninvasive hemangiomas, since they will become smaller (involute) on their own. [stanfordchildrens.org]

If treatment is required for hemangiomas, it usually consists of a combination of local care (topical treatment) combined with systemic therapy, generally oral steroids. [birthmark.org]
