Birthmark?

This isn’t really urgent but I have a birthmark on my left thigh and it disappears and reappears depending on my body temperatures and I can feel when it’s there. I just wanted to know if that was rare or normal or just weird.

Complaint duration: Since I was born
Medications: None
Conditions: I’m fine

Hi,
 
You certainly could have something called nevus amenicus. Check out this description in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevus_anemicus
