While this is hardly life-threatening, the doctors say sock-line bands in some cases developed at just one week leaving raised, reddish markings around the ankle or leg.
The marks in some cases appeared after wearing a tight pair of socks on just one occasion and though they faded, raised lines remained.
However while they may be unattractive, the lesions appear to be harmless but as the condition has only recently been recognised, whether scarring will be permanent remains unclear.
The team from Washington University advise parents to choose their babies' socks carefully, and ensure there is plenty of space between leg and sock.
