Hemangioma?

Any preemie mom's have an issue with hemangioma's on their LO? My daughter was born 5 weeks early due to HELLP syndrome. She is developing a deep hemangioma on her right eyelid. Anyone experience this? If so, did you use propranolol?

     She has numerous hemangiomas on her arms, and a larger one on her cheek.&n
