My LO is 15months and it looks exactly this same as your sons did at that age.

He is now nearly 8 and I updated the post with a new picture 🙂
There hasn’t been much change over the last years but no one notices it now and neither do we 🙂

Can I ask how old he is now and if the harmangioma had totally disappeared? My daughter is 14 months and has one on top of her lip. It seems to have progressed at the same rate as your sons and hoping it will diasappear!

I just wanted to thank you for this post and these photos! My 11-month old son has had one since about 3 weeks in nearly the identical spot to your son. I found your page a few months ago and it was super reassuring to see the progression. I also wanted to say your son is so handsome, and you are a great photographer. Thanks for sharing your story and talents. 🙂

That one is going to require surgery but the other 2 are beginning to fade. there is a really good video on youtube about the ‘life and death’ of a hemangioma.

You are very welcome… He did have a much bigger one on his scalp but it was under his hair and was gone by the time he was one. Really though, I don’t think that anything should be done if it is only cosmetic because though there may be “safe” treatments, there are always risks so it is encouraging to hear that a doctor would not treat for only cosmetic reasons when it most likely will fade by itself.

There are tons or articles about hemangiomas on the internet, but very few that show an example of the progession of one. My two month old has one on her scalp. It is so scary not knowing how big it will get. And it is VERY FRUSTRATING to be told that doctors won’t do anything about it. I don’t understand why, if there are safe treatments, then why not? Anyway, your son is such a cutie.

My son’s strawberry mark appeared around 1 week old, we were concerned at how quick it got bigger and puffy, he is now 3 months old. It seems to be grey in the centre (his mark is around 3cm long by 2.5cm) It’s nice to see images of progression on your website as I have been looking for a couple of months for something similar. Other people have reassured me that it will fade in time.

My daughter has one on her chin and at 3 months it has gotten a lot bigger, but it is starting to turn white. Hopefully, that is a sign it is going to fade. I can’t believe how many people ask “What’s that” or “What happened” or “did she get burned.” It is really annoying that people don’t see past that. Your pictures of your baby has reassured me.
