Birthmarks are colored marks on the skin of a newborn baby. Some birthmarks show up soon after a baby is born, but others take longer to appear. Most birthmarks are obvious at birth, while some fade or go away as a child gets older.
Birthmarks come in different shapes or sizes. Pigmented birthmarks can appear in different colors such as brown, tan, black, blue, pink, white, red, or purple. Some birthmarks are smooth, and some are raised.

Despite numerous studies in the past, the specific causes of a patient's birthmark remain unknown to this day. They usually happen incidentally and not because the mother might have done something wrong while pregnant.
But there are findings that suggest how birthmarks may be inherited or may be caused by genetic mutations. You may also see similar marks with your other family members, but this happens rarely.
If you have a red birthmark, that might be a vascular birthmark. Vascular birthmarks are blood vessels bunched together or haven’t grown normally. Your pigment cells or melanocytes may be responsible for your brown or blue birthmarks, called pigmented birthmarks. It is not clear why some children have them, and others don’t.
There are 2 types of birthmarks: vascular birthmark and pigmented birthmark. If you're considering birthmark removal treatment, knowing the right type will help you have an idea about the right type of procedure for you.
These classifications can help you figure out the types of birthmark you have. To have your birthmark removed, schedule an appointment with our experts in birthmark removal treatment at Dermatology & Skin Health.

Most birthmarks aren't dangerous and life-threatening. But some definitely affect a patient's self-esteem, making them decide to get a birthmark removal treatment.
There are rare cases where patients need to receive skin treatment and have their healthcare professionals remove their birthmarks. This is because their marks have already affected their breathing. Some birthmarks may also become painful or ulcerated, while some are actually signs of other underlying conditions. These instances require medical intervention.
If a birthmark grows, bleeds, or gets infected, call to schedule a visit so we can check it at Dermatology & Skin Health. Our board-certified dermatologists can assess your marks properly and create a suitable birthmark removal treatment for you.
As mentioned, most birthmarks shouldn't be a problem and may sometimes fade as you grow older. Have your birthmark checked by a dermatologist or a pediatrician to assess if it's harmless or if a genetic condition might be causing it, needing appropriate treatment. In monitoring a birthmark, look out for changes in elevation, size growth, and color or pigmentation. If you think it's rapidly growing, consult your dermatologist right away.
You should closely monitor your moles because they may sometimes progress into skin cancer – this is pretty common among adults but may also happen to children. Monitor your mole for changes in size, shape, or color, the same as you would monitor your birthmarks. If your mole or birthmark has developed lesions on the surrounding skin, you should see a dermatologist immediately.
