This video is about Neonatal benign skin lesion Salmon patch. It is also called Stork bite. Stork bites occur in about one third of all newborns. A stork bite is due to a stretching (dilation) of certain blood vessels. It may become darker when the child cries or the temperature changes. It may fade when pressure is put on it. A stork bite usually looks pink and flat. A baby may be born with a stork bite. It may also appear in the first months of life. Stork bites may be found on the forehead, eyelids, nose, upper lip, or back of the neck. Stork bites are purely cosmetic and do not cause any symptoms. In my video I have discussed the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, histology and treatment of Stork bite.
