Some brief notes about strawberry hemangioma:
Over 50 percent of babies get this rash around the second or third day of life.
The rash is composed of ½ inch (1.25 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) red blotches with a small white or yellow lump in the center. The red blotches can be numerous and can occur anywhere on the body (except the palms and soles). They can look quite terrible.
