With your feet placed shoulder-width apart, tighten your abdominal muscles and bend your knees and hips to get into a squatting position.

The birthmark commonly known as a port-wine stain is a flat hemangioma or nevus flammeus. It occurs in 3 out of every 1,000 infants. Port-wine stains are purplish discolorations and are caused by dilated blood capillaries. Port-wine stains often occur on the face, and are usually permanent.
Many people are born with birthmarks. For others, they appear within the first few weeks of life. Birthmarks can be brown, tan, blue, pink or red. Vascular birthmarks are made up of blood vessels bunched together in the skin. They can be flat or raised, pink, red or bluish discolorations. Pigmented birthmarks are flat, light brown patches on the skin that can occur anywhere on the body. The exact cause of birthmarks is unknown.
