Hemangioma is a bright red birthmark that shows up at birth or in the first or second week of life. It looks like a rubbery bump and is made up of extra blood vessels in the skin.
A hemangioma can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly appears on the face, scalp, chest or back. Treatment for a babies hemangioma (infantile hemangioma) usually is not needed as it fades over time. A child who has this condition during infancy usually has little visible trace of the growth by age 10.One may want to consider treatment if a hemangioma interferes with seeing, breathing or other functions.

Usually a child has only one mark.Some children may have more than one,particularly if they are part of a multiple birth.
During the child's first year, the red mark grows rapidly into a spongy, rubbery-looking bump that sticks out from the skin. The hemangioma then enters a rest phase and, eventually, it begins to slowly disappear.
Many hemangiomas disappear by age 5, and most are gone by age 10. The skin may be slightly discolored or raised after the hemangioma goes away.
Exact cause of hemangioma is unknown. It is made up of extra blood vessels that group together into a dense clump. What causes the vessels to clump isn't known.
