Maeve’s “angel kiss”.
Can you see the "angel kiss" above her right eyebrow?
Maeve was kissed by an angel at birth and still carries the kiss with her … she also was bitten by a stork.
She has a birthmark on her forehead, about an inch above her right eyebrow that is circular in shape and light pink in color called an “angel kiss”. I asked her doctor about it and she said that it would probably be with her for the rest of her life. Maeve also has the better-known “stork bite” on the back of her head too. Her stork bite is larger, pink and purple blotchy pigmented skin. They are common on babies, up to 70% of newborns have one or more, and are known to last into adulthood.
The “angel kiss” on her forehead is more intriguing to me. Maybe because of it’s location and that it looks more like a permanent birthmark, I felt inclined to do some research. Maeve’s doctor said that she’d just have to wear bangs because she’ll always have it, but I read something different.
It’s in the category with the “stork bites”; it becomes more noticeable when Maeve cries or there’s a change in air temperature and it’s flat on the surface of the skin. I read that the “angel kisses”, that are usually located exactly where Maeve’s is or on the eyelids, usually go away by age two.
So, I’m confused. Does anyone know credible information concerning birthmarks? Maeve is healthy, happy, and growing, so there’s no cause for concern. I would just like to know what to expect: will this “angel kiss” fade or be a character-building feature she’ll always carry with her?
My son had a stork bite on his forehead. He is almost two and it is significantly lighter. You can only really see it if he is crying or hot. He has what we were told was an angel kiss but it is a patch of blonde hair while the rest of his is brown. We were told that would be permanent. Not sure about the mark on her forehead as it looks a lot different than the blonde hair obviously
If it blanches and becomes darker like the stork bite, I would be inclined to think it would fade!
Interesting! Thanks for your input.
she is a cutie I can;t believe how fast she is growing!
