AB  - Question I see many children with infantile hemangiomas and have read about new therapeutic options such as propranolol. Is this medication effective and safe for treating hemangiomas in children? Answer Most infantile hemangiomas resolve spontaneously without any need for therapy. In many case series, propranolol has been shown to be effective and safe in treating hemangiomas that cause complications. Further studies are required to determine the optimal dose and duration of propranolol treatment for problematic hemangiomas.
