According to the National Health Service (NHS), the origin of a blemish that is commonly referred to as a port wine stain is an abnormal development of blood vessels in the skin. Over the course of time, they have the ability to get darker, thicker, and to form higher lumps and ridges.
Billy Corgan, the frontman for Smashing Pumpkins, has finally disclosed his port wine birthmark, despite the fact that he has spent his “whole life” trying to hide it. These efforts have been unsuccessful.
This musician, who is well-known for his songs 1979 and Bullet With Butterfly Wings, exhibited the obvious purple mark that is positioned on his left arm and hand through a picture that he made on social media.
In the article, he stated that he was in favour of body positivity efforts and that he was in favour of them “because at the end of the day it is about celebrating what makes us ‘us’.” He expressed his support for these campaigns.

After that, he made the following statement: “I have made it a point to conceal my birthmarks, which are known as “port wine” birthmarks, throughout the entirety of my life until this very moment.” You can probably guess that when I was a child, I was subjected to terrible teasing over them.
“So much so that people who have known me for a decade are shocked when they finally ‘see it’.”
The next thing Corgan said was that “even now,” people are stopping him on the street, not because they recognise him but rather because they think he is ill and needs medical attention.

“So positive message for the day: Whoever you are, I hope you find peace with who you are because: I would like to know that person and no one else.”
The National Health Service (NHS) and Great Ormond Street Hospital believe that the abnormal proliferation of blood vessels in the skin is what causes a birthmark referred to as a port wine stain. Both institutions provided this information.
Port wine stains have the capacity to develop raised bumps and ridges, become more dense, and darken over time. Both of these characteristics can occur.
The National Health Service (NHS) reports that birthmarks, despite the fact that they are often harmless, can occasionally develop small blood vessel blisters known as papules or pyogenic granulomas, which are prone to bleeding easily. These blisters are known to be a source of discomfort for the affected individual.
