Suggest Treatment For Red Spot On The Cheek

my daughter has this red spot on her cheek, about 1cm, looks like little veins. She has very pale and thin skin so it's very noticeable. Is there any cream I can put on the spot to get rid of it. It's not bothering her but it's just red on her pale cheek.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
From your description it sounds as if it is a small hemangioma or could be the small capillary or vein showing up through the thin skin. If this is the case no ointment is necessary or will do any good. As you have not mentioned the age of your child it is a bit difficult to draw conclusions. In pediatric cases you must always mention age and weight.Relax as there is no discomfort and this could be a hemangioma ( mole like ). YOu can show your doctor if there is great concern.
