Salmon patches (also called stork bites, angel kisses, and macular stains). Salmon patches are thin, flat, light pink or red birthmarks. They occur most frequently on the back of the neck, the upper eyelids, upper lip, or between the eyebrows.

Hemangiomas. Hemangiomas are raised, blue, red, or purple birthmarks formed by a clump of immature blood vessels. They can be many sizes and shapes and are found both on the surface of the skin and deeper in the body.

Do birthmarks need to be treated?

Most birthmarks are harmless and need no treatment. They often fade or disappear as a child grows older.

A birthmark that causes problems with sight, breathing, hearing, speech or movement may need treatment. Birthmarks that are found on internal organs always need treatment and may be associated with more serious problems. Treatment is most common for hemangiomas and port-wine stains and can include corticosteroids, laser therapy, and surgery.

Sometimes the appearance of a large birthmark can make a child or the parents of a child feel shy or self-conscious. In some cases, makeup or hairstyles can hide birthmarks. Counseling and/or support groups may also help with any emotional issues caused by a birthmark.

Is it important to have birthmarks checked?

More than 90% of birthmarks are diagnosed by a careful medical history and physical exam. Some birthmarks stay the same as a child grows older, while some birthmarks fade or disappear. Others grow quickly over a short period of time. Although most are harmless, all birthmarks or any changes in a birthmark need to be checked by a health professional.
