Port-Wine Stain
The port-wine stain is a red or wine-colored birthmark that appears on the skin due to abnormal development of small blood vessels. It is usually present from birth and stays flat on the surface.
How it looks: a reddened or wine-toned area, generally smooth, that can be located on the face, the neck, or other areas of the body and vary in size.
What to consider: in most cases it is a cosmetic matter, though it is worth monitoring changes in size, color, or texture over time.
Which specialist evaluates it? The dermatologist evaluates the lesion and, in babies, the pediatrician offers the first approach. If questions arise about its appearance or progression, discussing it with one of these professionals allows you to receive guidance appropriate for each case.
