Hemangiomas

Preterm infants more often presented with infantile hemangiomas that were thicker with steeper borders compared with term infants, signaling a need for improved treatment, according to a study.

Topical 0.5% timolol maleate hydrogel may be a better alternative to oral propranolol in the treatment of infantile hemangiomas, according to a study.

Propranolol treatment for a duration of two years is recommended for patients with segmental facial hemangiomas, according to a research letter published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
