Abstract
Infantile haemangioma is a condition seen in premature babies, it develops as a birth mark that grows in size commonly seen on back, chest, scalp, the swelling is characterised by bleeding or oozing. In such patients primary concern is any ill effects due to medical condition and secondary concern is cosmetic. A 9 month old baby brought to the hospital with complaints of swelling on the back with oozing. The patient was given IV propranolol for 1 year. And wound care was taught along with ergonomic education for ADLS. The study suggests that the use of IV propranolol shows significant reduction in the swelling and oozing from the swelling.
