Infantile hemangioma, commonly referred to as strawberry vascular tumor, is one of the commonest benign vascular tumors of the newborn. The management of this lesion remains under discussion and various protocols have been proposed. This tumor at some locations needs urgent attention. We report two cases of infantile hemangiomas involving eyelid and part of the face. One lead to closure of eyelid and other bled significantly on four occasions with ulceration of the lesion. Oral propranolol was used that showed remarkable change in the morphological features of the tumor with significant reduction is the size of the lesions. Key words: Capillary hemangioma, infantile hemangioma, Propranolol
