It bulges when he crys (as do the other veins on his head) however when hes laying down and the other veins don t bluge this spot does. It appears to be fine when he is upright (sitting or standing) He is 14 weeks, he has had this possibly since birth, but definatly since he was 7 or 8 weeks.

Hi,
It may be vascular nevus..strawberry Hemangioma. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis.
Generally I advise my patient to Waite till 7 years age. Many time such vascular swelling disappears within 7 years.
There are many modes of treatment if anybody wants to cure it early... like intralesional injection of sclerosing agents,laser therapy and surgical excision.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
