Birthmarks are skin discolorations or growths that are present at birth or develop shortly after. They can vary in color (red, brown, blue, or black) and appear anywhere on the body. While most birthmarks are harmless, some may grow, become raised, or cause cosmetic or psychological concerns.
Birthmarks are generally categorized as:
• Pigmented Birthmarks: Includes café-au-lait spots, moles, Mongolian spots
• Vascular Birthmarks: Includes port-wine stains, hemangiomas
Common Causes:
• Abnormal blood vessels (vascular birthmarks)
• Excess melanin or pigment cells
• Genetic or developmental factors
• Not caused by any maternal activity during pregnancy
Treatment Options:
• Laser therapy (Q-switched or pulsed dye laser)
• Surgical excision (for raised or large growths)
• Dermabrasion or chemical peels (for surface marks)
• Camouflage makeup (non-invasive option)
Early consultation with a dermatologist helps determine the nature of the birthmark and whether removal is needed for cosmetic or health reasons.
