In general, any function threatening (ocular, ear, nasal tip, lip, large disfiguring facial lesion and genitalia involvement) or life threatening (airway lesion) IH, which constitute about 10-20% of the cases, need intervention [Table 1].[7] The remaining majority of the cases need only active non-intervention, which consists of education about the natural course, treatment options and anticipatory guidance.[47]"}
