What are the causes of red birthmarks?

• Certainly, red birthmarks are an attractive individual beauty feature for some people. However, you should be aware that these are cell changes in your skin that you need to watch. The scientific name for the colloquially known blood sponges is hemangioma. They mostly occur in people with very light skin color and especially in young children and people of old age.

• Usually these dots are harmless. But if they appear suddenly and in large numbers, they could be a sign of illness. Experts also see a connection with liver problems.
• The appearance of these moles can also be triggered by poor diet. Toxins accumulate in the liver or intestines and can often no longer be broken down sufficiently.
• The cause is due to abnormal growth of the fine  blood vessels.
• Red birthmarks are 1 to 4 millimeters in diameter and can appear on your armpits, heels, genital area, chest, back, arms, legs, etc.
• If you notice red dots on your face, hands, or other parts of your body, it could be an indication that you are exposing yourself to intense sunlight. You should be very careful here.

• Look carefully at the edge and structure of these spots. If they are irregular, rough, and larger than 6 mm, you should see your dermatologist.
• You should also watch out for possible red birthmarks on your children. These can occur especially in children with very light skin. Check your children’s skin regularly. So you can recognize changes early on.
• Often birthmarks are also genetic and therefore inherited.
• Another cause of red birthmarks can be mild  hormonal imbalances in women.
