Thanks for getting in touch, and sorry for not responding earlier. I wanted to put something together about another hemangioma Annie has in her brain that did bleed when she was 5 weeks old, and I have now although I can't et this comment to hyperlink. My gp said he had seen research that said children with brain hemangiomas often did have facial ones. But this is very, very rare indeed and so do not think that you should be worried!!

It was towards the top of his head and started out very small, but kept growing to about a centimeter in diameter and then plateaued when he was about one. Our Ped said it should go away entirely by the time he's six. It hasn't been a problem and is pretty well hidden by a good mop of hair, but I always worry that he'll hit his head and it will bleed. We have an acquaintance whose daughter had a large one on her earlobe and had it surgically removed. She was on an extreme surgeries episode on the Discovery Channell!

It is getting less and less and we were told the same thing that it would be gone by about 1 and she'll be 2 in July. If it's fading, don't worry it'll go soon enough. Good luck though.
