Port wine stains

[Redshoes]

Ophelia has 3 port wine stains that have appeared as time has passed, one on her forehead, a finger, and at the base of her neck. Now I'm not interested in getting them removed or anything like that, though I did Google them and have got myself a bit anxious, and so wondered if anyone's LO has them, and what you did about them? I am going to mention it to my HV next week, but I'd love to hear what happened for your LO's if they did have any? Plus I'd like to get it confirmed they are port wine stains, they are a deep red colour, really cannot remember her having them there when she was born, so have gradually appeared/darkened, I think.

Thankyou for any replies in advance

Charlie has a strawberry on her back. It started out as a tiny red mark at about 2weeks old, and has grown to the size of a 50p now. We arent having it removed, at the moment Charlie is quite fond of it! And they will shrink and often disapear by the age of 7. Sorry, I know that she has a strawberry and not a PWS.
You need to speak with your HV, It might not be a PWS, maybe just little stork kisses or something?

Thankyou ladies
I'm stopping looking on the internet now as I've really upset myself, I'm so worried, Ophelia seems absolutely fine in herself and so I do hope that the HV says all is fine but think I will see the GP too, thankyou for replying
