Nevus flammeus or port-wine stain is a capillary malformation usually presenting as a unilateral pink or red discoloration on the skin. These birthmarks, which can vary in size and shape, typically develop at birth or shortly afterward and can occur anywhere on the body of a newborn, although they are most commonly found on the face and neck. Over time, they may grow in size, darken, or become thicker. The color intensity can also change with age. Nevus flammeus is a benign condition that often occurs alone and is only of cosmetic concern. However, when it is a part of a combined vascular malformation or a syndrome, the patient will require further evaluation, including radiological imaging, to confirm the diagnosis. Initiating appropriate treatment is crucial to prevent the development/ progress of any disabilities and prompt diagnosis of any anticipated complications/ visceral anomalies. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of nevus flammeus and highlights the role of an interprofessional team in the management of affected patients.
