Some names sometimes used for a certain kind of birthmark are a stork bite, angel kiss, or salmon patch. This is a small little reddish blotch that sometimes appears just where the forehead and nose come together, but it’s also found anywhere from the neck up. It’s not terribly uncommon; about one in three newborns sport one. It occurs when blood vessels beneath the skin are shaped slightly oddly, making the birthmark. Sometimes this kind of birthmark can become more visible during temperature changes.

Key Takeaways:

• Light reddish skin blotches that appear on the face or neck are a fairly common birthmark in newborns.
• This kind of birthmark is normally something harmless, caused by stretched blood vessels beneath the skin.
• Strawberry birthmarks, port-wine stains, or moles are kinds of birthmarks that are normally permanent.

“This common birthmark is lovingly called a stork bite, and thankfully, it usually fades with time.”
