When he was younger (maybe 2), he itched it so much it bled and eventually got infected. He went on a quick round of antibiotics and it cleared up.</p> <p>I would put aquafor or Neosporin on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704975 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 10:48:29 +0000 sapphire 2704975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know that you need to see a dermatologist, but I would bring him to the pend sooner because it is not typical for a stork bite to itch or to have a rash associated with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704941 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 10:25:29 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2704941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@iluvboba637: his daytime shirts don't have tags, but I will clip his sleepers and see if that helps. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704938 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 10:23:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2704938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, okay it's time we visit a derm. Thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704935 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 10:23:32 +0000 iluvboba637 2704935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS had a stork bite that never bothered him but he did occasionally scratch the back of his neck (not the storkbite) and I found that it was from some of the tagless labels on his shirts that were peeling and making him itchy. So maybe check his shirts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704923 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 10:15:11 +0000 kiddosc 2704923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my LOs have stork bites and angel kisses and they have acted as regular birthmarks and never been fussed with. I think you may be dealing with a separate skin issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704889 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 09:38:24 +0000 Truth Bombs 2704889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cerave is my favorite lotion for soothing skin, so I would try that. But I was also under the impression that birth marks should not cause symptoms, so maybe consider taking him to a pediatric dermatologist just to be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704886 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 09:33:42 +0000 LulaBee 2704886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 has a large-ish stork bite on the back of her neck and we've started using Eucerin in a tub and it's helped soothe it (and all of her eczema as well!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704880 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 09:20:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2704880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: his stork bite is on the nape of his neck.</p> <p>His pediatricians have described the angel kiss, between his brows, and stork bites as birthmarks. Yet, we are having to treat the stork bite one/ neck one because he claws it. It's getting worse. Right now it's sratchy and scabby. We don't go back to see the doctor until his 1 year appointment in a couple of months so thought I'd ask you guys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704874 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 09:13:00 +0000 Littlebit7 2704874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, me too with the Huh, My LO still has her angels kiss or whatever its called at 2 years now and its never bothered her in the slightest. Where is it on him? Does it look atypical? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704817 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 06:31:21 +0000 hellobeeboston 2704817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh, both of my los had those, and my 15 month old still does on the back of his neck but they've never scratched them before. I find aveeno works for them for skin rashes and soothing usually so that would be my recommend.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stork-bite-care#post-2704815 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 06:23:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2704815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has both an angel kiss and stork bite. He seems to be bothered by the stork bite and is constantly scratching the back of his head. We use Cortizone when it's inflamed, Neosporin when it becomes a scratched sore mess, and Aveeno Excema strength lotion in between to try to soothe and prevent scratching. What else? I never imagined a birthmark could be so problematic. Any suggestions? </p>
