Infantile Hemangiomas

Certain conditions such as infantile hemangiomas (IH) require more specialized monitoring due to the risk of potential complications, and thus specific guidance on the use of teledermatology is needed.

Due to the reduction of in-person appointments during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Society of Pediatric Dermatology released consensus guidelines on the management of infantile hemangiomas. While these guidelines were developed during the pandemic, they may also be applied to analogous settings in which in-person office visits are impractical or impossible.

The consensus guidelines recommend telemedicine initiation of topical or oral beta-blocker therapy for standard-risk patients, while advising in-office consultation for higher risk patients [69].Criteria for standard risk include the following [69]:
