Introduction: Infantile hemangiomas (IH) exacerbated by ulceration invariably necessitate hospitalization, although simple IHs are sometimes managed remotely. Furthermore, according to international regulations, β-blocker medication for such hemangiomas should be systemic and performed in a clinic, especially if there is infection and risk of bleeding. Case: War in Ukraine made it impossible to hospitalize and properly examine a patient with a complex ulcerated and infected IH, forcing us to administer β-blocker timolol therapy only through telemedicine. Conclusions: Our case demonstrates the possibility of successful distant treatment of IH with ulcer using only a topical β-blocker carried out remotely through telemedicine, which is critical in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, war, hostilities, or natural disasters where inpatient treatment is not available. |
