This is a 48-week, open-label pilot study to evaluate the safety, including systemic exposure and skin tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of 5% simvastatin ointment in the treatment of 15 children with newly diagnosed superficial proliferating IH. The primary objective: To evaluate the safety, including systemic exposure and skin tolerability of topical treatment with 5% simvastatin ointment for superficial proliferating IH over 48 weeks. The secondary objective: 1.1 To evaluate the efficacy and durability of 5% simvastatin ointment when topical treatment is administered twice daily for 24 weeks, followed by a 24-week post-treatment follow-up period. Evaluation is performed at each clinic visit via investigator global assessment (IGA) based on standardized 3D digital photography and hemangioma activity score (HAS). 1.2 To evaluate the impact of 5% simvastatin ointment on quality of life using the IH-QoL questionnaire. The exploratory objective: To explore whether clinical response and regrowth following topical 5% simvastatin treatment are associated with SOX18-mevalonate pathway-axis activation in infantile hemangioma tissue.

Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of the 5% simvastatin ointment over 48 weeks
The primary endpoint is the evaluation of the safety and tolerability of the 5% simvastatin ointment over 48 weeks, defined by the following three combined components: * Adverse Events: The incidence, severity, and proportion of participants experiencing adverse events (AEs) from Week 0 through Week 48. * Systemic Exposure: The proportion of participants with detectable serum simvastatin levels, alongside descriptive statistics of measured concentrations, at Week 24 (End of Treatment). * Skin Tolerability: The incidence and maximum severity score of local skin reactions at the treatment site at Week 24 (End of Treatment).
