Birth Mark

Birthmarks are congenital skin anomalies that appear at birth or shortly afterward. They come in various shapes, sizes, colors, and types, typically classified into two main categories: vascular birthmarks and pigmented birthmarks. Treatment options depend on the type of birthmark, its size, location, and potential medical complications. Raised, red, and lumpy birthmarks caused by an abnormal buildup of blood vessels. They often appear in infancy and may grow rapidly before eventually shrinking and fading. For individuals, especially children, feeling self-conscious about their birthmarks, counseling or support groups can be beneficial. Birthmarks, especially larger ones or those that change in appearance, should be regularly monitored by a dermatologist to rule out potential complications.
