Red Birthmarks
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Red birthmarks are reddish or pinkish spots or raised areas that appear on the skin at birth or in the first weeks of life, caused by blood vessels. They include lesions such as angiomas and other vascular marks.
How they show up: they usually look like flat spots or small reddish bumps; many are harmless and some fade over time.
When is it worth having them checked? If a mark grows quickly, bleeds, ulcerates, is located near the eyes, mouth, or airways, or raises doubts, it is reasonable to show it at a visit.
Which specialist evaluates them? Dermatology, along with pediatrics and neonatology in the youngest, can evaluate red birthmarks. Discussing any change with a professional makes it possible to provide the appropriate follow-up.
