What type of birthmark do I have?

I have no interest in removing this birthmark, but I have always wondered what it's called (is it just a hemagioma?) It looks like a rash on my left leg only and I've had it as long as I can remember. The marks are flat and not raised and become paler when palpated.

Here is a picture of my knee:
