It may with time: This birthmark may fade with time, but now is not the time to treat the condition even if it doesn't. Wait for the child to grow some more before discussing your options with a plastic surgeon or other physician.

Maybe: Most capillary hemiangiomas will increase in prominance, growing faster than the kid until age 10-12m. They then usually stop growing and gradually fade over time with some leaving behind a falttened, parchment like skin by the age of 4y.Those that were not evident at birth, have the best chance of fading while those that were prominent at birth may persist to some degree.
