“…Telemedicine became crucial during the war in Ukraine when millions of people appeared in the war zone in the occupied territory and had limited access to hospitals. 5 Medical assistance with the use of telemedicine gives the possibility of providing the patient with medical services for counseling, diagnosis, and treatment using remote communication tools in the form of electronic information exchange, including through the transmission of the electronic message and conducting video conferences. Due to the war in our case of complicated ulcerated IH, the patient received urgent e-consultation and effective treatment via teledermatology.…”

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.
