The Role of β-blockers in Dermatological Treatment: A Review

Abstract

Many systemic medications have been used off-label in cutaneous diseases. Use of β-adrenergic blocking agents has risen in popularity among dermatologists since the discovery of their efficacy in treating infantile hemangioma. There has also been an increase in the interest of the applications of β-blockers in other skin disorders. Overall, β-blockers are effective in treating diseases of vascular origin and promote wound healing. They are relatively safe and inexpensive medications that could be included in the armamentarium against skin diseases.
