Hi Doctor,
I have one question regarding birthmark of new born baby. My baby boy is about 2 month old and having 2 cm strawberry color mark and green/bluish color swelling around it. Could you please provide me suggestion on this.
Your child has a hemangioma in all probability. Can only confirm after having a look. You probably need to come in for a consult. Please call Malini on 9867694813 and fix up an appointment at your convenience.
