My cousin's son has birthmarks, and there are many kinds of birthmarks. Let me tell you about the colors of children's birthmarks.

There are several colors of birthmarks in children

The first type: nevus of Ota is very common in Eastern ethnic groups. It is a pigmented birthmark characterized by nevus of cyan brown stain around the eye. About half of the patients were found at birth, but some were found in childhood or adolescence. The lesions were composed of brown, gray and blue spots. The boundary of the lesions was not clear. The color of the spots in the lesions could be monochromatic or both, and the color was different. The lesions in some patients tended to increase slowly. Plaque can occur in the forehead, eye, cheek and zygomatic area. Generally speaking, this kind of birthmark is quite common, but this kind of birthmark is also very difficult to remove.

The second type: port wine stains, also known as wine like nevus or telangiectasia nevus, occurs at birth, often in the face and neck, mostly unilateral, occasionally bilateral. In the early stage, there were several light red, dark red or purplish red patches of different sizes, showing irregular shape, clear boundary, capillary dilatation and smooth surface. With the increase of age, the color becomes red, and some lesions may gradually expand, thicken or appear nodules. Port wine stain is composed of innumerable dilated posterior venules, which belongs to congenital venule malformation. If the lesion is not treated, it will not subside. In clinical medicine, this kind of birthmark is more common, almost many children will suffer from it, but this kind of birthmark will disappear as children grow up.

The third type: coffee spot, also known as coffee milk spot, is a light brown spot that can be found at birth. The color varies from light brown to dark brown, but the color of each piece is the same and very uniform. Its depth is not affected by the sun. Its size ranges from several millimeters to tens of centimeters, and its boundary is clear. It is mainly manifested by the abnormal increase of melanin in the epidermis. Coffee spots vary in size, round, oval or irregular in shape, can appear at birth or later, and increase in number throughout childhood, and will not fade. This kind of birthmark is very rare in clinical medicine, but once it appears, it will be very difficult to cure.

matters needing attention

Generally, birthmarks can be divided into pigmented and vascular types. The common pigmented types include Mongolian spot, Taitian mother spot, congenital melanin mother spot, coffee and milk spot, and nevus without pigment. The vascular types include wine spot, strawberry like hemangioma, and cavernous hemangioma. According to the degree of risk, it can be divided into two categories, one is not harmful to the body, or even disappear with age, the other is likely to affect the body. No matter what kind of birthmark is, it will have a serious impact on children. One birthmark will disappear as the child grows up. Some birthmarks will not disappear, and it will cause serious danger to children's lives.
