A stork bite is not contagious or dangerous for your little one. Stork bites are the most common birthmark among light-skinned babies, occurring in more than 80 percent of newborns. Stork bites are caused by capillary blood vessel malformations, which create flat, reddish patches of skin that may fade over time.
You may have seen this birthmark in adults. It may not actually be a stork bite, but another type of birthmark. Turn off more accessible mode. Skip Ribbon Commands. Skip to main content.

Text Size. Page Content. Port Wine Stains Port wine stains are fairly common, seen in about 3 in 1, children. Infantile Hemangiomas These benign growths, which usually appear in the first few weeks of life, are made of extra blood vessels in the skin.
Congenital Hemangiomas Congenital hemangiomas are present at birth. Venous Malformation Venous malformations are tangles of veins in the skin that did not form properly during development. Blood Vessel Birthmarks What does it look like? Does it need to be treated? Nevus Simplex Flat, pink or red birthmarks present at birth. Sometimes called "salmon patch" marks. Based on location, also called "stork bite" on back of neck and "angel kiss" between the eyes.
Most do not need treatment and go away on their own by the toddler years. Talk with your pediatrician if the birthmark is large or in an unusual area. Port-Wine Stain Flat, pink or red birthmarks that may look like maroon liquid splashed on skin. Like, but usually larger than, nevus simplex. May affect more areas on the face and body.
Usually no related health problems. If they are on certain parts of head and face, tests may be needed for rare related health condition. May become darker and thicker over time; laser treatment may help lighten them some.
Infantile Hemangioma Bumpy red or flat bluish marks usually appearing in first few weeks of life. Near the top of the skin, they're red "strawberry marks". Deeper in the skin, they look blue or purple, like bruises. Usually don't cause problems, but some need treatment to avoid permanent changes or health problems. After a period of fast growth, usually start to shrink and fade at about age 1. Congenital Hemangioma Usually large round or oval bumps that are fully formed at birth.
Usually require no treatment. One type rapidly involuting starts to disappear quickly. Others non-involuting don't go away. Can be removed later with surgery and other treatments. Venous Malformation Blue or purplish tangles of veins in the skin that did not form properly during development.
Present at birth but may not become obvious until teen years. Treatment may not be need unless the birthmark becomes painful or affects your child's activities. Sometimes, small clots form in the veins.
In most cases, the clots are not harmful. Congenital Melanocytic Nevi Moles Congenital melanocytic nevi are commonly called moles. Dermal Melanocytosis These are the most common birthmarks in babies with highly pigmented skin. Pigmentary Mosaicism Mosaicism is a word that means two sets of DNA, or genes, are present in the same person. Pigmented Baby Birthmarks What does it look like?
Congenital Melanocytic Nevi Various sized moles present at birth or appearing during first year of life. Most are brown but may also have shades of pink, red, or black. Some may have a lot of hair. Can become rough, bumpy and raised. Most are harmless, but it is important to watch for changes in the birthmark.
Sun protection is important to avoid unhealthy changes. Larger nevi present at birth, and multiple moles that appear, should be checked for related health conditions. Flat and usually round or oval shaped. Most are smaller than a child's palm. Present at birth or early in life. Most are harmless and need no treatment. Dermal Melanocytosis May be a mix of colors including brown, gray, blue, and black.
