Strawberry Hemangioma (strawberry mark)

Definition

Strawberry hemangioma, also known as a strawberry mark, is a benign vascular birthmark characterized by a raised, red, and superficial lesion that resembles the surface of a strawberry. It is caused by an abnormal proliferation of blood vessels and typically appears during infancy, often growing rapidly in the first few months before gradually shrinking and fading over time.
