4. Strawberry hemangioma.

Hemangiomas are formed by the accumulation of tiny blood vessels. Strawberry-shaped hemangiomas appear on the surface of the body and are commonly found on the face, scalp or chest of the human body. It may be red or purple, often angular, and one in 100 babies may develop a strawberry-shaped hemangioma.

Strawberry hemangiomas usually occur a few weeks after birth.

Strawberry hemangiomas grow rapidly in the year before they disappear, around 9 years old. The strawberry-shaped hemangioma may be discolored or wrinkled. This type of hemangioma is usually not needed**, but if it grows around the eyes, around the mouth, or in a location where bleeding may be infected, you should go to a specialist hospital for diagnosis**.

Congenital nevi are pigmented nevi that appear at birth and may have a flat, raised, or bumpy surface. These moles can appear anywhere on the body and vary in size, ranging in size from less than 1 inch to more than 8 inches (about 25 mm to 203 mm). 1% of newborns have congenital moles, and most moles are not dangerous.

But congenital moles, especially those that are larger, are at risk of developing melanoma.

6. Pigmented spots.

Pigmented spots are the uneven distribution of melanin particles, resulting in local spots and patches that are darker than normal skin tone. Excessive sun exposure, endocrine disorders, chronic liver and gastrointestinal diseases, improper use of cosmetics, etc., may be the triggers of pigmented spots. In terms of classification, pigmented spots are divided into melanomalous spots (Ota nevus, melanocytic nevus, etc.) and brown pigmented spots (freckles, sun spots, melasma, freckles, age spots, etc.).

2. Destroy normal organs and tissues.

Long-term untreated birthmarks may worsen and cause complications. Some can severely damage normal tissues, leading to dysfunction.

For example, melanin in the area of Ota nevus lesions may continue to increase without diagnosis and treatment. The pigment further infiltrates the mucous membranes of the facial organs, which can cause vision problems, such as glaucoma, if left untreated.

3. Ulceration, bleeding, infection, etc.

Vascular birthmarks with protruding ** surface at the later stage of the disease. If the wound is rubbed or scratched and bleeds, it can cause infection and form a long-lasting ulcer that causes scarring.
