Capillary Hemangioma of Neck and Posterior Scalp

This shows a storkbite which is a birthmark often found in babies. These birthmarks usually go away on their own.

Some brief notes about storkbites:

  • Flat pink birthmark
  • Present in 50% of newborns
  • Also called salmon patches
  • Most fade by 3 years, but 25% are still present into adulthood
