Abstract
Infantile Haemangiomas (IH) are the most common vascular tumors occurring in early childhood, with a prevalence of approximately 5-10% of infants. These vascular tumors are divided into two main groups including infantile haemangioma and vascular malformations. Although, haemangioma of infancy are common, benign and self-limited tumors, a significant percent of these lesions are associated with substantial morbidity in infancy and childhood. All currently used treatments have significant risks. Dramatic improvement of complicated haemangioma of infancy to propranolol was recently reported. Herein, we review infantile haemangioma as a whole with focus on the therapeutic efficacy of systemic and topical propranolol as a beta-blockers for the management of infantile haemangioma.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an inherited chronic inflammatory papulosquamous disorder with a variable clinical spectrum affecting about 0.5% to 2% of children and adolescence. In spite of all performed researches around the world for seeking better treatments with fewer adverse effects to control the disease, there is still no cure for psoriasis. Treatment of psoriasis in children is very conservative and many therapies used for adults may not be appropriate for children due to possible long-term or delayed adverse effects. A wide range of therapeutic options are existed including; topical therapy, phototherapy, chemotherapy, systemic therapies and biologic therapies. Here in, because of the lack of data in this specific field of dermatology, we decided to review the current therapies of childhood psoriasis.

Abstract
Context: Scabies is a common infestation in children. Treatment of scabies in infants and children is a therapeutic challenge. Many prescribed drugs for adults cannot be used in children because of their side effects and safety profile. This review article studied the treatment of scabies in children and infants.
Evidence Acquisition: In this review, electronic databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Cochrane and Scopus were searched based on the following MeSH terms: Scabies, Pediatric and Children. We included all articles related to scabies in children published from 2008 to 2018. Duplicated and irrelevant studies and abstracts were excluded.
Results: The management of scabies is focused on identification and treatment of cases and household contacts. We briefly discussed the clinical presentation of scabies with the currently used topical and oral treatments for this infestation. Topical treatments are effective and the most effective treatment is permethrin. Other treatment options may be less effective, poorly tolerated, or with adverse effects.
Conclusions: Scabies is prevalent in children and causes considerable morbidity. Because of its complications, scabies should be managed properly in accordance with the guidelines.

Abstract
Context: Warts are benign cutaneous and mucosal growths caused by human papillomavirus. Warts are the most common skin diseases seen by pediatric dermatologists. Warts are often self-limited, especially in children, but some lesions are not resolved despite repeated treatments and referred to as recalcitrant warts.
Evidence acquisition: Electronic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus were searched during 2000-2018 and a review was conducted for articles published in English on pediatric warts by focusing on recalcitrant warts.
Results: If warts are asymptomatic and being in a location that causes no cosmetic or other problems, observation is the ideal management course. Most parents and children prefer treatment for their warts. There are three modalities of treatment: medical, surgical, and immunotherapy.
Conclusions: Treatment of warts is a therapeutic challenge that depends on the patient’s age and the type of warts. Despite treatment according to evidence-based guidelines, a significant proportion of warts are failed to respond. This condition is an unsolved problem in practice. The management for treating these lesions has remained unclear and a wide range of the second line of treatments has been developed.
