Strawberry Birthmark: Capillary haemangioma is the medical term for this kind of birthmark, or strawberry birthmark. Although not common, some of these birth marks can point to more serious conditions, which is most probably the reason behind the African cultural belief that ibala can kill a baby. There is not a cure. A pediatrician should check for other conditions related to this birthmark.
