A port wine stain is usually a large flat patch of purple or dark red skin with well-defined borders. At birth the surface of the port-wine stain is flat, but in time it becomes bumpy and often more unsightly. The face is most commonly affected although they can occur anywhere on the body. Where present, they generally appear on one side of the body with a sharp mid-line cut-off.  Some port wine stains may fade over time but most remain unchanged or may even deepen in color. They do not shrink by themselves or disappear spontaneously. If the port-wine stain affects the face and neck, it may have a severe impact on the child's social, psychological and economic development.
