What is the redness behind newborn's head & will it fade on his own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely birthmark: A percentage of all newborns will have a rose red parch of skin at the nape of the neck.This is commonly called a stork's bite birthmark.It can vary in size but is flat with the skin. It may fade with age, vary some in location and can persist through life. His doc can confirm/exclude this label.
