What are the birthmarks on your baby that need attention?

The so-called birthmark refers to the excessive proliferation of a group of normal cells or tissues, such as blood vessels, melanocytes, fat, etc., which are different from the normal skin color, and can usually be found at birth or within a few weeks after birth. Birthmarks can be divided into pigmented and vascular types. If the birthmark grows on the face or hands and feet, it will affect the appearance and cause a blow to people's psychology, but if the part is not an obvious part, and the range is not very large, you can ignore it, and the current birthmark **laser**, or surgery, etc., you can choose according to your needs.

Generally, after the age of three, it will fade to the point that it is no longer visible. If it is a hemangioma, surgery is recommended as soon as possible. If you have other birthmarks, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, if the child is still young, it will recover faster, and it will grow up with age, and when the area is small, you will suffer less These marks are born with the baby, and some are becoming more and more obvious after a period of time.

Parents are drawn to the fact that these marks are red, blue, brown, and vary in shape, size, and location on the body.

Its incidence is about 86.3 per cent. Parents of newborns can find a little light grayish cyan and dark cyan spots on the baby's waist, buttocks and back, which are mostly symmetrical and mostly singular, mainly round, oval or square, but the realm is not very obvious. Some grow on the body, and some grow on the face, hands, neck and other obvious places.

Birthmarks are black or brown or red. About 30% of newborn children will have some birthmarks on their bodies, and some birthmarks will fade as the child grows.

Whether it is in the ancient times when information was blocked, or in the modern era when information was developed, the existence of birthmarks has seriously affected the life of the person concerned. If it grows in an inconspicuous place, it is easy to say, but if it grows on the face, it may make the person have serious inferiority complex and depression, affecting the development of his life.

Ota nevus is a disease of increased melanin in the dermis, once it occurs, it will not go away for life, affecting the appearance. Cavernous hemangiomas, the lesions are generally large, slowly growing, and lesions can be seen in various parts of the body.

Neonal nevi are more likely to appear on the eyelids, forehead, back of the neck, top of the head, under the nose and back, but if it is large or in an abnormal location, it needs to be checked by the hospital. Wine stains, if they are located in certain parts of the head and face, need to be examined.

1.Salmon grouper.

Salmon groupers are flat, pink or red birthmarks that appear on the eyelids, forehead, back of the neck, top of the head, under the nose, and back; It is essentially a temporary malformation of the capillaries; Up to 80% of babies are born with it and are very common. Most salmon groupers are harmless, don't require special treatment, and will disappear on their own when your baby is a toddler. If it becomes redder when your baby is crying, warm, or active, don't panic and it's normal (because the blood vessels become full).

But if they are large in size or located in unusual areas, you need to see a doctor.

2.Bright red spots.

Bright red spots, also known as wine-colored and flame-colored nevi, are also common, occurring in about 3 out of 1,000 children.

Somewhat similar to the neonatal nevus above, it is also a flat, pink to deep purplish-red vascular malformation that is present at birth.

However, it may be larger and more widespread (usually located on the head, face, and neck), and it will not disappear on its own. Instead, it will grow with your baby and may become darker and thicker.

But don't worry, it's a benign vascular malformation that usually doesn't cause health problems. If you are particularly concerned, you can also consult a professional doctor by photodynamic or laser**.

However, if it is located in certain parts of the head and face (such as the eyelids and forehead), tests may be needed to rule out glaucoma, leptomeningeal vascular malformations, and to distinguish it from cerebrofacial hemangiomatosis.

I think that as long as the birthmark on the child's body does not grow on the face, it generally does not need to be paid attention to, because many people have birthmarks, as long as they are not particularly obvious.
