Hi,

A hemangioma of infancy is a benign tumor of endothelial cells. They are the most common tumor in infancy and are connected to the circulatory system and filled with blood. In most cases, hemangiomas will disappear over time, leaving minimal or no visible marks. Talk to you doctor about this on your next follow-up for proper evaluation. Medical treatment may be done but in majority of cases, they will resolve on their own.

Take care and keep us posted.

thank you very much for your response. I have been doing some research about it online but I haven't found any examples of hemangioma on anus. Is that rare for it to be in that position?
