I don't think it's anything to worry about as they often refer to as strawberry marks if can be seen from the surface of the skin. It's basically a collection of blood vessels that's all. Diffuse just refers to the size. Has your GP asked to see you about this? Is your birth mark red? If so it may well be related xxx

Not much comes up because there's not much to it ;) It's a just a benign growth of some extra blood vessels that you've had since birth. Discuss it with your GP. The headaches and sick feeling are due to your anxiety, not this thing you've had all your life.

i have a port wine mark on my forehead since birth its quite large
the report says the abnormality was shown to the stroke consultant then refered to kings acute neuro team who have requested an appointment but doesnt say when
my gp doesnt know because he said he didnt see scan results from what i googled it says benign tumour?
im so scared mainly because i have no idea what any of it means :S
