google strawberry birthmark...
they are common birthmarks, some fade by age 5 and some never do
some get larger and some srink with age, some will need surgery to remove if needed (say if by a eye or lip)
my son has one on his nose, (on the tip) it was slightly raised and VERY red, now he is 18mths old its flat and faded pink, we dont even see it anymore ourselfs, and depending on the angle it only sometimes shows up in pictures... befor eit was noticable as a birthmark, so no one commented on it, now it looks like a nose dive into the carpet, so we now get comments ALL the time.. of AWww he fell down hey? and we look for a wound but dont see anything, till they point at his nose... then were like OH, nope just a birthmark..lol
it happens.. and it seems my sons will be faded/gone by 5 for sure
EDIT: sry i didnt see the purple part, also try googling "Port wine Birthmark"... those dont fade..

Is the baby mixed race or latino or native american? Many latino, native american babies have what is called Mongolian Spots at birth. They are usually gone by the time the baby turns 4 or 5.
My boyfriends niece has a large one all across her lower back, looks like a huge bruise.

My sister in law had one and so does her son. Hers was on her back and they are more common then you think because they aren't always visible day to day. My sister in laws has gone away and it looks like a hickey on her back, unfortunately her son's is on his neck which means that it will look like he has hickeys all the time and strangers will look weirdly at him when he is older. If it is mainly red it will go away, if it is very purple she will have it her whole life, I just can't remember what they are called

It sounds like a birthmark to me. Hopefully it is not growing in size (some can.) and will gradually fade as she gets older.
