broken veins on babys face

[biglips]

as she had them since she was 2 days old as its both on her cheeks (a lot of them but faintly) does that means it will be forever? (ive got them on back of my leg)

bump

my ds1 had a couple on his cheek which seemed to appear after going out for a walk in cold weather. they did become fainter over the months and disappeared after a year or so.

let hope it will fade as baba is 1 this week and its still there at all times

Can you ask your HV about them?

ds1 had a few veins on his face which I got checked by my GP when I took him for something else, I mentioned it to him - I think they were called spider naevus (sp?). Sometimes they can indicate a liver problem so ds had a liver function test (blood test) but it came back fine.

If you are worried, no harm in getting it checked out. My ds's have gone now btw.

ok ill ring my HV today to check it out

DD has these on both cheeks still at 4! should i get the HV or GP to look at them?

No harm getting them looked at. They will probably turn out to be harmless like my ds's were.
