Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common vascular soft-tissue tumors of newborns and early childhood with a prevalence rate of approximately 4%-5% in infancy. Most of the IHs regress spontaneously after initial proliferation. Ulceration is one of the most common complications seen in IHs, which heal poorly without treatment. The prevalence of IHs is three times more in females compared to males. The most common location of IH is head and neck with the least being in extremities Oral propranolol and systemic corticosteroids are used as first-line therapy in the treatment. Topical timolol has been used as an alternative to counteract the long-term side effects of the prior modalities. In this study, we are reporting and presenting case reports of two female infants with ulcerated IH who were treated with oral propranolol and topical timolol, respectively, and comparing the efficacy of one over the other. we observed fast and efficacious healing with oral propranolol when used with proper monitoring, as compared to topical timolol, although the latter is more commonly used as it is safer with fewer potential side effects.
