'Strawberry' Birthmark
My 4 mo old son has a "strawberry" inside the cheek of his butt, very close to his rectum. His ped told me it would get slightly bigger and redder for a year and then be gone by the time he is 5. Last night, I noticed that it was bleeding slightly and seemed to be starting to "peel off". He also had a slight case of diarrhea and I didn't know if maybe that irritated it. When I called his Dr she didn't seem too concerned but said they don't normally do that and just told me to diaper him tightly (whatever that means) and maybe use a stiptic pencil if it didn't stop bleeding. Anyway, it is not bleeding at all today but I was wondering if anyone else's child has had one of these and what happened with it? Did it ever bleed? Has it gone away? Thanks.
