people have PINK birthmarks!?
Patches of the skin have varying quantities of a substance called "melanin". It's what gives skin it's color.
One of the most common types of birthmarks is called a hemangioma. These birthmarks happen when many new blood vessels group together in one place on the skin. No one knows what causes blood vessels to group together, but it's good to know that most birthmarks don't hurt at all and they usually aren't a sign of any kind of illness. Lots of newborns have these birthmarks on the back of the neck (where they're called stork bites) or between the eyebrows (where they're called angel kisses). These birthmarks usually disappear within the first few weeks or months of life.
Types of Hemangiomas
One kind of hemangioma is called a strawberry hemangioma. A strawberry hemangioma is bright red and sticks out of the skin, so it does look a little bit like a strawberry. Some strawberry hemangiomas go away on their own by the time a kid is about 5 years old. Almost all strawberry hemangiomas go away by themselves by the time a kid is about 9 years old.
There is another type of hemangioma that is beneath the outer layer of skin. It's called a cavernous hemangioma. Cavernous means "like a cave," which is deep in the earth, like this type of birthmark is deep beneath the outer layer of skin. This kind of birthmark is puffier than a strawberry hemangioma. It's also a different color: not red like a strawberry, but more bluish-red.
Port-Wine Stains
Another kind of hemangioma is a port-wine stain. This isn't puffy or raised like a strawberry or cavernous hemangioma - it's level with the outer layer of skin. A port-wine stain is an area of skin that is either maroon (a purplish-red color) or dark red. It gets its name from port wine, a type of wine that is dark maroon. People who have port-wine stains usually have them on the face and neck.
