Brief Answer:
Most often these are harmless and you need not worry about it.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic. The first thing I would insist you is not to panic. There are different kinds of birth marks that babies are born with and most of them are harmless and persist for a lifetime without any problems. I do not think you need to get rid of the same. However, it would be appreciable if you could upload an image of the same using the facility on the upper right of this page. Based on that I would definitely give my inputs.

I would await your response.

Brief Answer:
You need not worry.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. I have gone through the attachment and it does not seem to be a cause of worry. In case it remains static in size (with respect to surrounding structures), nothing needs to be done.
