It's a Strawberry!!!UPDATED with pic
Hi girls,
LO was born with a red birthmark on her face
orginally I thought it was a port wine.. But over
the weeks it's changed... It's got redder and it's
become more prominant.
Had done some research on birth marks..
And thought it looked more like a Strawberry mark..
The HV confirmed yesterday that it was one.
My question is has anyone got any experience
of these? The HV said that it will disappear
after becoming quite unsightly..
Any info on strawberrys would be great!
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
we have arranged to see a Dermo in July
for a proffessionals opinion- only because it's
on her face

My cousin had a strawberry birthmark on her side when she was born, it got bigger and bigger and started sticking out (actually, looked just like a strawberry!!) and then it starting going in reverse and is now gone!
Just in case you were in any doubt as to how sweet she is, mother nature got involved and decided to show the rest of the world too! ;\) xxx

My little boy who is 21 months, has got one about 1cm x 1cm on his shoulder. It has now flattened out, and seperated insto smaller bits and is slowily going away.
You can also do treatments on them, to make them go quicker, but i suspect it woulnt not be through nhs, so you d have to pay yourself. But they do always fade themselves
my niece also have a very large one on her leg she is now 5 nearly 6 and it has almost gone but hers was huge about 6x bigger than my sons there is not much u can do about them really
as its on your lo face when in the sun it will be even more sensitive to the sun so be very careful
hope this helps x

Its right they do grow super fast, hers is about 2cm x 2cm but about half cm raised and she is 10 months old, it has been this size since she was about 5 weeks old. I can already see, lighter patches appearing in it as its starting to gradually fade.
Pumpkin Pie - I was exactly the same as you and really hated people seeing it, especially the stupid ones who said "oh, dont you know your babies head is bleeding?" - WTF I think I would have noticed something THAT big!!! But honeslty, since her hair has grown, I am fine with it, and people dont notice it at all now! xx
