capillary haemangioma are usually not present at birth but may develop rapidly in the first month of life. 
They appear as erythematous, raised and multi-lobed tumours.
Typically they increase in size until around 6-9 months before regressing over the next few years (around 95% resolve before 10 years of age).
Common sites - face, scalp and back.
Rarely -URT leading to potential airway obstruction
Capillary haemangiomas are present in around 10% of white infants. 
Female infants, premature infants and those of mothers who have undergone chorionic villous sampling are more likely to be affected

''Potential complications''
    mechanical e.g. Obstructing visual fields or airway
    bleeding
    ulceration
    thrombocytopaenia

If treatment is required (e.g. Visual field obstruction) then systemic steroids are used
Cavernous haemangioma is a deep capillary haemangioma
