baby's red patches

i'll obsrve more, ladies...done some research..looks like storkbites....hmmm, thanks for all your 'sharings'....

Hi Lilymaud

I basically just want to echo what Huggles said. My son has a similar mark in the same spot (a bit smaller though) ever since he was born. He's now 2.5 years and its still there, just less visible because his hair is a lot thicker and covers the area.

From the photo its hard to judge, but its definitely possible that its only birth mark and not something to worry about. A quick search on Google reminded me that our pediatrician mentioned something about an "angel kiss" (I see now its the same thing as a "stork bite") - quite a nice way to describe it.

also, the red patches seem to be "in place".. they do not spread or anything like that...

i'm just concerned a bit and itnerested to know if any of your babies have this...


Huggles, it's a new idea...yes...hmmm... we'll see, if it's a birth mark... whew...

it actually doesnt bother her. maybe, it's storkbites?


I use the DisChem baby products, which have been good to her skin so far...just the red aptches at the back of the neck and head...

thanks, ladies.

Is the rash raised at all? Or is it just red dots on the skin? Does it bother her?

Are you sure it's not a birth mark? I have a red patch in a very similar area, as do my brothers and it's just a birth mark on us.

Try Oilatum Junior from Dischem... its a very rich aqueos cream. Not sure if that could be eczema... what products do you use to wash her body and hair?

hi Clueless.... paedia said just apply aqueous cream.. but it's been a month...uhhhh...

thanks
