Birthmark
Birthmark or also called naevus of unna, as this red spot is called in Latin. This red discolouration is a congenital vasodilatation often found in the neck. This is common in newborn babies. This skin disorder is a harmless vasodilatation of the superficial vessels in the skin of the baby’s neck.
The birthmark is a pale pink spot or spots that can be removed. Often when the child is excited or crying, the spot can be more noticeable.
