Is it bothering you?: Hemangiomas are generally observed unless they cause symptoms. IF they are on the skin they can be treated with laser or even injections. I would see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon if you are concerned. Hard to tell whether you are 17 or 42 and your gender. Hormonal changes may affect some of these lesions. If it is growing a doctor consultation is reasonable
