Stork Bite treatment in Magdalena Contreras

When it appears in a newborn, the so-called stork bite raises doubts for families, and the pediatrician or the neonatologist are the ones who can best reassure them. The stork bite is a pink or reddish patch very common in babies, caused by small blood vessels visible beneath the skin, which is usually located on the nape of the neck, the eyelids, or the forehead.

Characteristics: it is flat, pink or red in tone, and tends to become more visible when the baby cries or is warm.

Usual course: in many cases it lightens or disappears over time on its own, especially those on the face.

If the patch changes in appearance, grows, or causes concern, the dermatologist can offer a more detailed evaluation and resolve any worry the parents may have.
