Hemangioma ( or tuberous angioma or immature angioma or strawberry angioma) : reddish lesion, often in relief,which is growing some days after birth. It shoots up during the 18th first months of life. Initially it looks like a red fruit, tight and ripe, then it goes soft and becomes brighter like a lilac flower.

The three pictures below have been taken respectively at the 6th day of life, at the 4th month, and at the second year of life. They perfectly illustrates the classical evolution of a big hemangioma of the lower lip.

Usually, this kind of lesion must disappear before the 5th year of life. The more often, after retrogression, it lets an inesthetic piece of soft and crumpled skin, well tolerated if it is in an hidden part, not accepted if it is on a social area like face.
