Management of Ulcerated Scrotal Infantile Hemangioma in an Infant Using Systemic Propranolol and Topical Moist Dressings: A Case Study

1

Ulcerated infantile hemangiomas can complicate treatment, especially in high-risk areas like the scrotum, due to risks of infection and scarring.
2

A 5-month-old male with an ulcerated scrotal hemangioma was treated successfully with systemic propranolol and customized moist wound dressings.
3

The treatment regimen included a maintenance dose of 2 mg/kg/day of oral propranolol and tailored moist wound healing strategies.
4

Complete epithelialization of the ulcer occurred within 12 days, with significant regression of the hemangioma and no hypertrophic scarring.
5

This case highlights the effectiveness of combining systemic propranolol with a moist wound healing approach for rapid recovery in complex cases.
