You should not attempt to remove or treat a hemangioma on your own. These are usually benign and do not cause functional disability. See a vascular surgeon or dermatologist specializing in these problems. Self treatment may result in scarring, bleeding, pain, or infection if not done properly and on the face may result in disfigurement or effect the eye. Safe, effective treatment is available!

The answer is no. These lesions are deep and cannot be safely removed at home. Please see your dermatologist.
