Birthmark update
RoosterMemphis

I updated my previous post but I don't think it got bumped.
my pediatrician is a dumbass. She said the ONLY treatment was laser treatments for these kinds of birthmarks. Well, we had the ultrasound, they okayed us for treatments in San Francisco, we drive all the way out here and they gave us a topical and an oral med with a topical pain ointment instead. THANK GOD. After the initial sting of the topical pain ointment (I can't spell right now...shoot me) she melted in my arms and giggled for the first time in a few weeks. MH and I have ceased crying tears of relief now that she is out of pain and we are going to take a nice drive across the Golden Gate Bridge rather than jump off it. thank you for your support ladies. It truly means a lot to me.

Re: Birthmark update
Just bc I'm in the medical field and oober curious, I'd like to know the names of the meds. I love learning new things. But if that's giving out too much info i understand.
Sorry your pedi is a ratard, but glad the specialist had a trick up their sleeve that is less invasive.

Lidocaine is great for pain.
Metronidazole gel is good for infection, so if they think there's a superinfection going on because of the bleeding.
I'm stumped about the propranolol.
