Our little girl had a deep one (under the skin) on her eyelid. She was born 8 weeks early and showed up about 5 weeks after her birth. She was put on medication for it because of the risk of it impacting her eyesight and she’s 9 months now and it’s completely gone! There’s an amazing group on Facebook called Hemangioma Parents Group I would recommend joining, I did at the time and it was so helpful to ease any worries you might be feeling. There’s so many parents share stories of their little one’s strawberry birth marks and what they look like years later with or without medication x

Not strawberry marks, but my LG does have stork marks on her forehead, neck and lower back which are starting to fade now. I believe they're similar, just not raised. She also had one just under her nose but that's gone now.
