Strawberry hemangiomas (or capillary hemangiomas)are benign cutaneous tumors that involve only capillaries.They are bright red,rubbery nodules with rough surfaces and well-defined margins.They may or may not be apparent at birth but enlarge during the first year of life and tend to resolve spontaneously by ages 2 to 3 years.A port-wine stain is a vascular stain that is a permanent lesion and is present at birth.Initially,it is a pink; red; or,rarely,purple stain of the skin that is flat at birth; it thickens,darkens,and proportionately enlarges as the infant grows.Melanoma is not differentiated into juvenile and adult forms.A cavernous hemangioma involves deeper vessels in the dermis and has a bluish red color and poorly defined margins.
