The answer is the third one: This will usually disappear by around age 5 years.

Explanation for each option:

  1. "It is made up of a spongy mass of large blood vessels." - This statement is true for a type of hemangioma, but a "strawberry mark" specifically refers to an infantile hemangioma, which is a common benign vascular tumor in infants. While it is related to blood vessels, the key information parents often need is about its natural course rather than its composition.

  2. "Several treatment sessions will be necessary." - This is generally incorrect for a strawberry hemangioma, as most of these marks do not require treatment and resolve on their own. Treatment is usually only considered if there are complications or if the hemangioma is in a problematic location.

  3. "This will usually disappear by around age 5 years." - This is correct. Most infantile hemangiomas, including strawberry marks, tend to grow during the first year of life and then gradually involute, often disappearing by the time the child is around 5 years old.

  4. "The other name for this is a mature hemangioma." - This is incorrect. A strawberry mark is an infantile hemangioma, not a mature hemangioma. The term "mature hemangioma" is not typically used in medical terminology to describe these lesions.

In summary, the most relevant information for parents is that the strawberry mark will usually disappear by around age 5 years.
