Clinical and Dermoscopic Features and Outcomes of IHMAG, IH, and Capillary Malformation.

Onset IHMAG IH CM
At Birth First Weeks of Life At Birth
Clinical Focal or segmental flat reddish asymptomatic macules; a proliferative component, regarding <25% of the total surface area can be present Variable (red, finely lobulated plaque or bluish subcutaneous mass) Reddish and asymptomatic macules
Dermoscopy Red, dotted, or globular vessels, alone or combined with dilated linear and tortuous vessels, were associated with enlarged unfocused telangiectatic vessels Well-demarcated round or oval areas called lacunae, in which the color can range from red to reddish-brown or reddish blue Multiple red, dotted, or globular vessels, reticular and sausage-like vessels as well as white circles and whitish veil
Outcome Spontaneous regression Rapid growth phase, followed by a period of slow involution with possible residual lesions It grows proportionally to the child’s development, without showing signs of regression over time

CM = capillary malformation; IH = infantile hemangioma; IHMA: = infantile hemangiomas with minimal or arrested growth.
