Infrared thermography is a useful adjunct for the clinical monitoring of infantile hemangioma (IH) activity with or without treatment. There is a dearth or reporting on the ideal tissue for standardizing temperature readings from IH. This case illustrates the use of mean medial canthal temperatures and the differential hemangioma temperatures for monitoring of facial IH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
