Hello,

Thanks for following up.

I have gone through you history and the picture sent.

The picture as well as the history points towards a Nevus (birth mark) of vascular origin. It might be present from sometime after birth and now visible due to the growth of body and the skin. Several birth marks present similarly and catch attention only when they grow in size.

There is nothing to worry about the same .Most of them grow for some time and then become stable. Usually no treatment is necessary.

For the confirmation of diagnosis, you can visit a dermatologist who can examine it closely with a Dermatoscope and suggest you if any treatments are required. Generally, these types of lesions do not cause any discomfort and people seek treatment only due to cosmetic reasons. Treatment options include laser treatments to fade the lesion.

I will be happy to help you in case you have any further questions.

If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.

Wish your daughter good health.
