Abstract | Background: Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) on skin are conventionally treated with beta blockers, pulsed dye laser (PDL), or surgery, either invasive or limited to clinical conditions. Our preclinical studies suggested that Tanshinone, extracted from Methods: The single-armed pilot study included a total of 29 infants diagnosed with IHs. Thrice daily (at an interval of 6-8 hours) topical applications of Tanshinone were used for each patient. The primary response was the skin erythema index assessed by investigators using SkinColorCatch colorimeter instrument (Delfin). The Achauer score and the satisfaction of parents were also evaluated. Results: A total of 29 infants, 22 females (76%) and 7 males (24%), with a median age of 60 days (interquartile range, 45 to 99 days) were included. The position of IHs was distributed in the trunk (44.8%), head (34.5%), and limbs (20.7%). After 6 months of IHs treatment, the decrease in skin erythema index (baseline: 566.79±854.67 Conclusions: The topical use of Tanshinone compounds might be a potentially effective and noninvasive therapy in treating IHs. |
