Red Birthmarks
What are Red Birthmarks?
Red birthmarks, also known as vascular birthmarks, are characterized by their red coloration due to an overgrowth of blood vessels in the skin. These birthmarks can manifest as different types, such as hemangiomas and port-wine stains. Hemangiomas are raised, bright red birthmarks that often appear shortly after birth and gradually fade over time. On the other hand, port-wine stains are flat, pink, or red marks that persist throughout life and are caused by dilated capillaries in the skin.
The color of red birthmarks comes from blood vessels in the skin, either present at birth or developing shortly after birth. Red birthmarks may vary in appearance, size, and location on the body. While some fade with time, others may require medical attention or treatment depending on their type and characteristics.
