Port-wine stain

Port-wine stains usually grow on the face or neck, and rarely grow on other parts of the body. Some people do not recognize port-wine stains and think they are red birthmarks. Some port-wine stains will grow with age, so if you have something red like a birthmark, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause and prescribe the right medicine. Do not take medicine blindly on your own to avoid delaying the disease.

Port wine stain is also called red birthmark. The characteristics of this type of hemangioma are: generally not higher than the body surface, relatively clear boundaries, colors ranging from light to dark, and its lesions are mainly within the skin layer. Port wine stain is a type of capillary hemangioma. It initially manifests as one or several red or pink patches of varying sizes and irregular shapes. The boundaries of the port wine stain are clear and do not protrude above the surface of the skin. It will partially or completely fade when pressed and has a smooth surface. As you age, the color of the red birthmark will continue to deepen, from bright red to purple. The lesions may thicken and become nodular and will not disappear throughout your life. When treating this type of hemangioma, it is important to choose a method that has no toxic side effects and does not leave scars. The current methods for treating this type of hemangioma in China include: laser, freezing (easy to leave scars, bad for the body), surgery (unnecessary pain and may recur), and traditional Chinese medicine (safe, no scars, effective).

If port-wine stains on the back, neck and other places are not treated in time, they may cause diseases such as vascular abnormalities in the spinal cord. If they grow on the face and around the eyes, they may cause eye diseases and nervous system diseases. Our health is seriously threatened. The red birthmark is clinically called a port-wine nevus, and is commonly known as a birthmark in daily life. It is a type of hemangioma that often appears after birth or shortly after birth. The lesions appear as light red or purple-red patches. To avoid harm, it should be treated as soon as possible.
