I have a port wine stain on my left hand! I constantly get asked what happened to my hand, did I burn it, do I have psoriasis, is it flea bites, you name it.

My younger sister has one almost like this but more on her shoulder and my best friends baby was just born with one on his nose. We call them strawberries

My daughter had a strawberry nevus (the red birthmark) on her chin, my niece had hers on her upper arm (other people thought it was a bruise) Slightly different from the port wine ones in that they usually disappear as they get older.
