Eli5 what is birthmark?

202 views

80% of my body is covered in strawberry birthmark. I’ve had it since I was born. My mum thought that as I grew it would become smaller on me, but it grew with me. It turns blue when I’m cold. No doctor can explain what causes it? It looks and feels like normal skin and could be removed with laser treatment, by bursting the blood vessels apparently…similar to how tattoos are removed.

This whole thread is a really cool view in to how a lot of people with port wine stains and other birthmarks feel about themselves. It’s really interesting. Thanks for sharing folks! You’re all awesome.
