Treatment of 'angiomas': a modern commentary

M Rogers. Australas J Dermatol. 2000 Nov.

Abstract

The terminology and classification of vascular birthmarks has been simplified and clarified since 1951. Where treatment is indicated, this also has changed from radiotherapy being the treatment of choice to now having a range of therapeutic options including corticosteroids, alpha-interferon, alginate and hydrocolloid dressings, antibiotics, laser and surgery. Another important aspect of the management of haemangiomas is the recognition that certain patterns can be associated with other abnormalities.
