Summary

This study aims to learn more about vascular stains (a type of birthmark) by using a special imaging technique called optical coherence tomography (OCT) and genetic testing. About 73 people with these birthmarks will have their blood vessels measured and their tissue genes analyzed. The goal is to find patterns that could help doctors improve laser treatments in the future.
