They are caused by proliferation of the vascular endothelium. They are usually not present at birth, but the precursor lesions (flat pale or pink macules) may be present soon after birth. IH rapidly proliferate in the first few weeks of life.

Viral infections are extremely common in paediatrics and often present with rashes that can appear to be very alarming to parents / carers. It is useful to be able to identify an illness correctly from the exanthem (rash) to help inform your management plan and advice to parents. The history from parents and carers about the time course and progression of a new rash (where it starts, how it spreads) is critical and will give you vital clinical clues about what the rash might be.

Recently a colleague alerted me to a call for boycott. A medical doctor had listed a series of conferences to boycott. They all had something in common: they were all in red states that had abortion restrictions. Major medical conferences in Atlanta, Houston, Orlando, and Phoenix were tagged for boycott. What's the logic? The logic is these states have passed restrictive abortion laws.
