Hi, DS 1 has one on his head just below the hair line. He is 2 now and it is very faint and not raised at all. It got to the size of about 1cm and from about 6 months old stopped growing and then started to get ligher. I remember being abit worried as it was on his face (maybe me being a bit vain) But as you would know no mum wants any marks on their babies face. He also has one in groin which is fading fast but it was alot biger and is still a little raised.
Now we have 12 week old twins boy/girl and would you believe it DS2 has on in the same place, it started growing about 4or5 weeks ago and is now twice the size of DS1. I hate it being there, now I will have to put up with people asking what happened to the little fella as I did with DS1. The main thing though as it is so raised and looks like it would hurt but pead' said it will go and we know this but I wish it wasn't where it was. I know there could be worse.
Apparently they are heretitry(sp) and I did have one a a small child and dh's sisters little girl had 2 really big ones on leg.
I have been told they normally go by school age and if they are in the way of something they can remove them and gp told me sometime they will use blood pressure med's.
You will notice when your DD's stops growing there maybe a little time in between this and it starting to change colour, but once it starts turning whitish you know it will not get- bigger and is on its way out. Hope I have helped alittle. I would say if you are worried about where it is go to doc if you think it may hinder hearing or something.
