Please consult a dermatologist and paediatrician.

Dr. Zohra Samreen Baloch · Answer

Thank you for your question.
A red patch present since birth could likely be a type of birthmark such as a port wine stain, infantile hemangioma, or nevus flammeus. These are usually harmless, but depending on the appearance and location, some may grow or darken with time.
To give an accurate diagnosis and treatment options (like laser if needed), I would need to examine it ideally with a clear photo or in person assessment.
You can book a video consultation with me on Marham for proper evaluation and advice.
