Haemangioma : It is a non-cancerous tumour of the skin and generally appears by birth. In rare cases, it gets developed during the initial months after the birth. Most of these occur in the head or neck portion and the probability of occurring it much more in female child as compared to male child. This can present on the top most layer of the skin, deeper in the skin or both. The appearance of Haemangioma is very disturbing and therefore has to be cured as early as possible.
Portwine Stains : Portwine stains are normally pink in colour and flat. The colour gets turned into dark red or purple as the child gets old. Normally it occurs on the face, but sometimes it appears on the other parts of the body as well. The skin gets thicker with the time. The appearance of portwine stains is also disturbing and impacts the beauty and aesthetic value a lot.

White patches (vitiligo / leucoderma) of the skin can be treated surgically by transferring melanin pigment. This is usually done by taking some part of skin from one part of body and transfering it to white patch after preparing it with laser or dermabrasion. This is done on outdoor basis (no need of admission) and results are extremely satisfying.
