Eli5 what is birthmark?

206 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.

Sounds to me like a port wine stain, I have one on my neck. Met a guy a few years back who had coverage over around 80% of his body too, was waaaay bigger than mine but it was awesome. I hated mine growing up but have come to love it. They are rare and like a natural tattoo.
