Red "thing"

hz80408

If you notice in my siggy pic, when I was a baby I had a small reddish bump/mole near my right eye.  It went away by the time that I was 18mo.

 If I remember correctly, it's nothing dangerous, just something some babies have.  Actually it'd kind of funny b/c DH had one also when he was born.  My mom calls it my "strawberry patch".

Did anyone else have on or have you heard about this?  I'm looking to see if I have another pic with it on this computer

I think you probably had a hemangioma.  They aren't uncommon for babies to have and usually go away on their own.  I've heard them called 'angel kisses' before too, this is a way to explain it to kids; their parents tell them an angel with lipstick on kissed them goodbye right before they entered the world, and the mark is their lipstick.

My little cousin had a strawberry on her cheek when she was a baby but it went away. It was so cute!

Thanks for explaining.  I'll have to confirm with my mom.  But that's a lovely explanation! So sweet!

I agree w/Xan's diagnosis!

Angel Kiss--so cute!  My niece was born with something like this, I think.

My brother had one on his face and around his hand from where he had held onto the umbilical cord.
