Unlikely at this age: Some hemangiomas do "go away" on their own, but this is usually seen in infants. At age 15, with it enlarging, this would seem unlikely. You are in san fransisco...I would seek an opinion at your university medical center...They may have someone who specializes in the treatment of hemangiomas or "arteriovenous malformations". If not i would start with a dermatologist.

Not a hemangioma: This is not a hemangioma and needs to be re-examined. Hemangiomas do not grow at this age. There are many other things it could be, but it needs to be looked into.
