Q: Spider veins on baby's face

My 5 month old daughter has developed spider veins on her face, mainly the cheek area. Will they disappear with time? Would there be something wrong that is causing them to appear?
If anyone can help or has had the same thing happen to their baby can you please let me know.
Thanks!

Babies have very fair skin, so it is easy to see their veins. Usually things will fade away with time. It would be hard to say if they will go away or not, or it is enough of a problem to worry about since I can't see them for myself.
