my 2 yo dd has a port wine all down the inside of her left arm, which I am wondering if it is growing - kicking myself for not taking pics to make sure - I think it is now spreading onto her palm, but you know when you see something everyday, you don't see it iyswim - sometimes I forget she's got it.

She has just started to rub at it and say it is sore, but she hasn't got many words, sore is one of her few, so I am not sure if she really means it; equally I wonder if she is just noticing it for the first time - she is a very clean little girl and hates dirty hands, so I wonder if she is trying to rub it off?

Take her to the doc's. Sore birthmarks should always be checked out.

yes, I will certainly make an appointment - but have never heard of it before - so wanted to trawl the mn oracle
