Nevus flammeus

Also called a portwine stain, this is a type of birthmark usually found on the face and neck. They appear as pinkish-purple areas of skin. They usually fade, but do not completely disappear. If they are very bothersome or in a prominent place most can be removed by laser when the child is older.
