I hope the poor thing feels better!
Did they ever give you information on that birthmark? Or if it would be removed or fall off at some point?
Good luck at the doctors tomorow. Dont worry, it wont become that bad in one night to need it amputated.
No i didnt , i had to look it up myself. They just told me that it will shrink the older she gets .
Check out this website.....It's about strawberry birthmarks/hemangioma.

Dr. Francis told me she thought we should begin laser treatment immediately. She also told me that unfortunately alot of doctors are not aware that if you can catch the hemangioma before it has begun to raise off the skin there's a possibility that you can stop the growth. I was pretty angry when I heard this. If I had known this I would have started the laser treatment before my daughter's hemangioma became 1/4" raised off her skin! Dr. Francis showed me some before and after pictures of some children she had worked with and I was impressed and optimistic at this point
