What your daughter has is called “Angel’s Kiss” or “Stork bite”. These are very common in newborns and disappear with age.

Get it checked on her 6 weeks vaccination visit to be sure.

Hello,
These appear to be common newborn skin variants, often caused by dilated superficial blood vessels. In most cases, they are harmless and tend to fade gradually as the child grows.
There is usually no need for any treatment. However, you should consult your paediatrician if the mark increases in size, becomes raised like a bump, changes in colour.
You can also discuss this with your paediatrician during the next vaccination visit, as a direct examination will help confirm the diagnosis and provide reassurance.

Greetings
mark is likely a very common, harmless newborn birthmark known as a salmon patch or "angel's kiss."It is caused by dilated blood vessels near the skin's surface and does not indicate any underlying health conditions.Most of these facial marks disappear or fade significantly on their own within the first one to two years of life.You can comfortably have it evaluated by a pediatrician during your daughter's next routine well-baby checkup.No immediate treatment is necessary unless the mark starts growing rapidly, becomes raised, or begins to bleed.
