Some birthmarks are temporary and some are permanent. One example of a temporary birthmark is the superficial hemangioma type (formerly called a strawberry hemangioma), it appears on 2 to 5 percent of babies. This raised pink-red mark tends to grow and then disappear—half are flat by age 5, and 90 percent are flat by age 9. A deeper hemangioma (formerly called a cavernous hemangioma) appears as a lumpy bluish-red mass. It grows quickly in the first six months and is usually gone by the time a child reaches his teens. Such hemangiomas are bluish in color because the abnormal vessels are deeper than those in the superficial hemangioma.
