Strange birthmark

Myriam

So my baby girl was born about a month ago now and has had this strange birthmark since birth. Non of the doctors have been able to tell me anything about it but it seems to be getting more raised. Has anyone ever seen a birthmark like this or does anyone have familiarity with something like this? It’s right on her chest on her right nipple. We’re going to her pediatrician tomorrow, but I was interested in other folks experiences. Thanks

Could be a hemangioma , I have one myself. I'm surprised your pediatrician hasnt told you what it could be.

Mine is alot different than others. I was born with it being a open wound so I'm missing a huge chunk in my calf lol

I have one too. It was small and has faded as I got bigger. Unless it swells or is causing problems, they will probably elect to leave it be.

I had one of these from when I was an infant until almost 12 years old, it was on the back of my neck and my mom told me it was a "strawberry mark"

My nephew had one. It got bigger then smaller all on it's own. Hes 20 now you hardly notice it. It lost all the redness.

I used to have a hemangioma when I was born. When I was 8 i got it removed. I now have a big scar from where it was.

Looks like a vascular birth mark but talk to the doctor about hemangiomas. Was this present and this color at birth or has there been changes? Bring up any and all concerns with her little doctor

Have you tried taking to her a dermatologist?
