Most likely: It is not uncommon for birthmarks to be more vascular and sensitive to sun exposure. Apply cool compresses, topical steroid cream, and wear light cotton clothing, while avoiding exposing that area to the sun. If it does not improve w/i 2 weeks, or if it gets worse, seek medial attention.
