Birth Mark

I took the baby to the dermatologist yesterday to have the birthmark on her leg checked out. The mark runs from her butt to her foot. The doctor said it was a vascular birthmark and close to the surface and that is why it changes colors. She is sending us to a specialist to works with children and vascular birth marks. Then the options will probably be laser treatment. I am scare and nervous for my daughter and at the same time so grateful that we went to see someone. Now, we will just pray that it isn't that serious or won't be serious as she grows up!

  1. Hi and thanks for sharing your story. The most important thing is to confirm the correct diagnosis, as treatment options (and choice of lasers) can vary depending on the type of birthmark present. I look forward to following for future updates.
