Vascular birthmarks are skin lesions caused by abnormal blood vessels. Some fade naturally, while others may grow or cause pain or cosmetic concerns. Early diagnosis is key to effective treatment.

Signs & Symptoms of Vascular Birthmarks:

- Red, pink, purple, or blue patches or stains on the skin
- Raised or swollen lumps that may feel firm to the touch
- Rapid growth during infancy (especially with hemangiomas)
- Skin ulceration, bleeding, or crusting in certain types
- Discoloration that deepens when the child cries or strains
- Lesions that follow a segmental pattern on the face or body
- Pain, tenderness, or sensitivity in more aggressive birthmarks
- Potential distortion of nearby facial or body structures over time

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, give us a call to schedule your appointment.
