Hi. Thanks for your query ad for using Health Care Magic

Based on your description, I feel you have a condition called Capillary Hemangioma.
This is a condition where there enlargement and expansion of the blood vessels of the skin.
This can be confirmed if you send in some of your pictures for our review.

Treatment usually involves Intra-lesional steroid injection after which the lesion usually resolves

Hope I have answered your query.
Do get back if you need any further help

You can send in your further details/pictures for our review at doctors@healthcaremagic.com with Subject - ATTN: Dr Kiran

Thanks and Regards
