As a subject matter expert in pediatric dermatology, I can provide you with information regarding baby stork bites, which are also known as "angel kisses" or "salmon patches."

Stork bites, or capillary malformations, are common, usually harmless, and typically found on the face, particularly the forehead, eyelids, and the back of the neck. They are caused by dilated blood vessels close to the skin's surface. These marks are often present at birth or appear shortly after.

Do baby stork bites go away?

Yes, many stork bites do fade over time. In fact, the majority of them disappear completely by the time a child is around 2 to 3 years old. However, some may persist into adulthood, though they usually become less noticeable. It's important to note that while most stork bites are harmless, any skin changes in a baby should be monitored by a healthcare professional to rule out other conditions.
