My dd has a red birth mark on her face...between her eyes and another on one eyelid. they are fading but have never really botherd me. Other people's reactions to it have surprised me though. some people dont want to mention it at all... many say things like 'what a shame' or ' you'll have to get that seen to' . Someone even offered to 'touch it up' and remove it from photographs!!! TBH i was quite grateful as it meant that my dd was recogisable and harder for someone to pinch in the hospital. Has anyone else had strange reactions to their baby's birth marks? and, for facial ones will you 'get it seen to'?

My DD had red V on her forehead at birth. So much so we almost called her Vee - glad we didn't! She also had red birthmark at the base of the hairline on back of head/neck.

Was told the red V was caused by her 'journey' through the birth canal. The V had faded by the time she was 2, although the mark on her neck is still there.

Now, she has her own DS, who has exactly the same red V on his forehead, yet he was born by CS! He is now 8 months and it is already fading.
