Birthmarks that contain blood vessels are called superficial hemangiomas. These vary from the "strawberry angiomas" to the capillary distention known as "port wine stains". Some hemiangiomas are caused by small skin tumors and some are simple lesions.

These marks differ from "moles" (nevi) which are not primarily vascular.
