How to apply thiamine maleate for infantile hemangioma

Malic acid timolol usually refers to malic acid timolol ophthalmic solution. Generally, when using malic acid timolol ophthalmic solution for wet compress treatment of infantile hemangioma, standard procedures should be followed: after cleaning the skin, apply the medication onto the lesion, secure it properly, and control the duration. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult a doctor in advance. Detailed instructions are as follows:

Standard wet compress application is suitable for superficial and small-sized hemangiomas. First, clean the hemangioma and surrounding skin. Use sterile gauze or a cotton swab to absorb an appropriate amount of the solution and evenly cover the surface of the lesion, ensuring the gauze is fully moistened. Then gently secure it with medical tape to prevent detachment. Each wet compress session must strictly follow medical advice, typically lasting 10–15 minutes. The daily frequency should be adjusted according to the baby’s age and condition to ensure adequate drug penetration.

Special adjustments are required for larger hemangiomas or those located in special areas (such as near the eyes or mouth). For larger lesions, perform regional wet compresses to avoid excessive exposure of healthy skin to the medication. For sensitive locations, shorten the compress duration to minimize irritation to mucous membranes or delicate tissues. If the baby shows persistent crying, redness, itching, or other adverse reactions during the compress, discontinue use immediately and monitor the skin condition.

Prior to wet compress application, confirm that the baby has no history of allergy to the medication. The solution must be used strictly according to the prescribed dosage—do not adjust the dose independently. If the hemangioma develops ulceration or exudation, discontinue wet compresses and seek medical attention promptly. A physician will assess the condition and adjust the treatment method accordingly.
