Abstract:Sequelae after infantile hemangioma involution on the body surface includes telangiectasia, residual fibrous adipose tissue, skin atrophy and excess skin, and scarring, which occur at a relatively high rate. A pulsed dye laser is effective for telangiectasia. Surgical treatment is required for residual fibrofatty tissue, skin atrophy, excess skin and scars. Further research is needed on the issue of how to avoid sequelae in order to reduce the burden on patients.
