3-month-old baby, with a light red spot on the head about the size of a five-cent coin

Patient's question:

3-month-old female infant
There is a pale red patch, about the size of a five-cent coin, on the left side of the top of the head. The tissue at the base of the patch is higher than the surrounding area, resembling a swelling.
Discovered within the past week

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it might be a birthmark. The best age for treating birthmarks should be before the child starts school, so they won't be subjected to strange looks or ridicule from others, leading to low self-esteem and lack of confidence. Laser treatment is the most ideal method for treating birthmarks.
