Abstract
For infantile hemangiomas (IH) requiring treatment, including those in high-risk locations or in the setting of ulceration, oral propranolol is first-line therapy. Here, we present three cases of infantile hemangioma with worsening ulceration following initiation or escalation of oral propranolol at standard doses.
