How do they relate to spinal defects/ or problems in infants. I understand that birthmarks in infants can be a concern relating to the spine, can someone elaborate? # month old girl, has raised birthmark at base of spine red in color, bleeds sometimes and seems to bother her. Pediatrician said it is in a bad spot but seems to be ok? I have heard about spinal concerns relating to birthmarks?.

Angiomas are benign tumors that are made up of small blood vessels. They usually appear at or near the surface of the skin. Angiomas may appear anywhere on the body, and aren't considered dangerous. However, they may be present as symptoms of another more serious disorder, such as cirrhosis. When they are removed, it is generally for cosmetic reasons.
