| Since most birthmarks are completely harmless, most children don't need to see a specialist. Your child's pediatrician will keep an eye on the birthmark, provide reassurance and support and put you in touch with a specialist if the situation warrants. | |||

| It's rare that a birthmark is a sign of an underlying abnormality, but it does happen. We do recommend consulting with a vascular anomalies specialist if your child?s pediatrician is uncertain about the diagnosis, your child has any symptoms connected with the birthmark (such as pain, swelling or bleeding), or the birthmark seems to be growing. | |||
