Stork bites and angel kisses
Christina has both!
Hemangiomas are vascular birthmarks—abnormal clusters of blood vessels beneath the surface of the skin. Nearly one third of babies are born with light pink patches at the napes of their necks, commonly referred to as stork bites. Others have a splash of pink in the middle of their foreheads or eyelids, called angel kisses. These mild hemangiomas often turn bright red during a crying spell, but typically fade before a baby’s first birthday. Those at the base of the neck sometimes persist into adulthood, but are covered with hair, so nobody sees them.

Our son had a stork bite on his forehead and our daughter had a hemangioma on her chest. Our son’s has mostly faded but sometimes when he gets really hot or flushed you can see it. I think our daughter’s hemangioma on her chest has virtually disappeared. I haven’t thought about it until I read this post!

My baby girl has that also. She’s our first child so my wife and I are so worried about it. But after consulting the doctor about it, we are enlightened. It’s almost fading right now.

Christina’s have faded, too. I can’t remember how long they lasted, but I’m glad they were nothing to worry about! : )

My little girl was apparently Angel Kissed. It has faded over time. I thought your information was great.
