Birthmarks are generally categorized as:

Common Causes:
• Abnormal blood vessels (vascular birthmarks)
• Excess melanin or pigment cells
• Genetic or developmental factors

• Laser therapy (Q-switched or pulsed dye laser)

Early consultation with a dermatologist helps determine the nature of the birthmark and whether removal is needed for cosmetic or health reasons.
