This birthmark will appear when the baby is born or after birth. Don't look at the name a bit beautiful, but it is actually more annoying: without treatment, it will not fade by itself.

Many bright red spots will become permanent birthmarks, and they will gradually grow as the baby grows, forming irregular potholes and raised, which may seriously affect the value from small to large.

Especially when it appears in the baby's face, distributed along the trigeminal nerve, it may be accompanied by intellectual obstacles, damage to the nerve function, and even blindness. Therefore, you must seek medical treatment in time and keep regular inspections.

Pigment mole

A common benign tumor of the skin is formed by melanocytes nesting, mostly brownish yellow, brown or black. Generally, it will not cause damage to the human body, which mainly affects beauty.

However, pigment moles with a diameter of more than 20cm are called giant moles, and the chance of canceration is high. It is recommended to go to the hospital once a year.

In addition, parents should pay attention to observing whether the child's size of pigment mole has signs of rapid growth, or irregularity, color changes, slight bulging skin or thickening, and increase in volume. Be wary to become melanoma.

Tai Tian mole will not disappear by itself, and it may gradually grow up and deepen with age. It should be noted that in addition to affecting the aesthetics, two -thirds of patients have eye damage, which will increase the probability of glaucoma, and there may also be neuroferling and melanoma.

Mongolian spot

It looks like bruises, so it is often suspected that the two slaps of "popping" at birth were too heavy, damaging the baby's delicate skin, or superstitious that the baby was kicked when he was born. In fact, it belongs to the pigmented birthmark, and it is also the most common cyan birthmark. It usually appears in the lumbosacral, back, shoulders, and limbs.

Mongolian spots are not beautiful, but it is actually a kind of congenital leather melanocytes that are not harmful. It is particularly common among the yellow babies. Generally, it will disappear in school age (5-7 years old) without leaving traces. Special treatment is needed.

Some need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Even if it is a harmless birthmark for health, if the impact on appearance is obvious, intervene in time to avoid serious psychological burdens caused by children's growth.

In addition, not all moles can be removed laser. It is recommended to go to the dermatology or plastic surgery department of the regular hospital to obey the advice of a professional doctor.
