Maybe Eventually: Take him to an experienced skin doctor for a consult. Did he have this when he was born? Or did it first show up as he got older. Many times these will get larger before they get smaller. But, i say again: 1 look is worth a 1000 words. I have seen many of these in children, ; they often are not there at birth, develope as the child grows, sometimes fairly large, ; often fade/shrink later.

Angel kisses: Most of the red on eyelids are called angel kisses.They can also appear between the brows and in the mid face or near the nasal openings. These are dilated capillaries in thin skin and tend to fade as the skin thickens. Discrete red marks away from the eye may be a small hemangioma and will grow, peaking around 10 months before fading some. Your doc can help decide which your kid has.
