You should consult Good Peads surgeon or plastic surgeons
Hopefully this is isolated hemangioma. Sometimes it regress with time. One medical treatment is to give Propranolol for few months two to three times a day. And when size regressed it is excised surgically by plastic surgeon
No need to worry,it isn’t going to cause any problem medically .It will gradually become lighter and may disappear in couple of years.You can consult a pediatric surgeon or a plastic surgeon if you are concerned cosmetically.
