Summary

This study tests if a rapamycin cream, applied after laser treatment, can improve the appearance of port wine stain birthmarks more than a placebo cream. About 30 children aged 10 or younger with facial, neck, or upper trunk birthmarks will apply the cream daily for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if the cream helps fade the birthmark better than laser alone.
