My four year old has a spider naevus on her cheek under her eye, it started as a red dot when she was 2ish I think and has become more red and prominent as she’s got bigger.
I took her to the GP who confirmed it is that and nothing to worry about, nothing they can do. Won’t consider anything else to treat like laser until she’s an adult and I wouldn’t put her through that at this age anyway, shes so young. So nothing else they can do.
Please be kind, I’m highly anxious in general about her starting school this year already, but is this something she could get teased about in primary school? She starts in September, she’s very aware of this mark and doesn’t like it and has got upset about it before. Going to the GP helped. I reassure her and I want her to be confident.
Do young children typically outgrow them or become less prominent as they get older?
I know it’s small in the big scheme of things as she is healthy and happy, but it breaks my heart that she is unhappy with it there and I can’t take it away from her. She’s quite a sensitive girl and I don’t want it to affect her confidence.
