About: Infantile haemangioma, or strawberry birthmark, is one of the most common vascular birthmarks.  While most will resolve spontaneously without needing treatment, some haemangiomas require further investigations, treatments and a referral to a specialist centre to avoid threatened complications such as permanent skin changes or blindness. They are often a source of worry for parents and it is important to know how to diagnose them, assess and when a specialist referral is required.

At the end of the module, you will be able to:

·         Identify clinical features of an infantile haemangioma and the red flags for treatment and early referral

·         Understand how to support parents with the diagnosis and management

·         Be informed of the treatment options and when to use or refer for these
