Forgot to tell you that her procedures were covered by insurance because of the cancer threat.

Glad to hear it on the insurance. I still can’t find anything that links “strawberry” hemangiomas to increased cancer risk, even from sunlight. I suppose that, since they are a form of tumor (although benign), being susceptible to them might also leave one more susceptible to other forms of tumors, but I can’t find anything that shows that strawberry birthmarks are directly more vulnerable to becoming cancerous or that resolved hemangioma sites are more vulnerable.

Of course, your child had them all over, which is unusual. IANAD, but to me that would signify some underlying issue that would increase the cancer risk, not the actual hemangiomas (which everything I can find say are harmless). My daughter only has one, and it’s (luckily) not on her face.
