Overview
Angel kiss
Nevus simplex, commonly referred to as a salmon patch, is a benign vascular malformation often seen in newborns. This birthmark typically appears as pink or red patches on the skin and is most commonly found on the nape of the neck, eyelids, or forehead. Specific types of nevus simplex include stork bites, which are located on the back of the neck, and angel kisses, which appear on the face. These marks are generally harmless and often resolve on their own within the first few years of life.
