Abstract
Infantile hemangioma is clinically classified as superficial, superficial and deep (mixed), and deep. Dermoscopy can be used for analyzing vascular structure and for classifying infantile hemangioma. Here, we focus on vascular features of the superficial and deep type of infantile hemangioma and show the three characteristic dermoscopic forms, mostly reddish, diffuse reddish, and cerebriform reddish.

We previously summarized the dermoscopic features of polymorphous vascular structures in infantile hemangioma, a superficial type with a polymorphous vascular structure with no obvious red linear vessels or red dilated vessels, and a mixed type with polymorphous vascular structure with red linear and red dilated vessels [4]
Summary
Precise diagnosis and evaluation are essential to design treatment strategies for infantile hemangioma and capillary malformations. Dermoscopy is useful for immediate and precise diagnosis for infantile hemangioma without proliferation (infantile hemangioma precursor) from capillary malformation of port-wine stain [1,2,3]. Infantile hemangioma is clinically classified as superficial, superficial and deep (mixed), and deep. Dermoscopy can distinguish vascular structure between the superficial and mixed types [4]. We depict the three vascular-dominate features in the mixed type of infantile hemangioma, mostly reddish, diffuse reddish and cerebriform reddish
