What is Birthmark?

A birthmark is a colored mark on the skin that is present at birth or appears shortly thereafter. These marks can vary widely in size, shape, and color, ranging from faint spots to more prominent patches. Birthmarks can be either vascular (due to blood vessels) or pigmented (due to melanin). While most birthmarks are harmless and require no treatment, some may be associated with underlying medical conditions. They are generally considered unique characteristics, with no two birthmarks being identical in appearance.

   • Hemangiomas: These are raised, bright red birthmarks caused by a collection of blood vessels. They can be superficial (capillary hemangiomas) or deeper (cavernous hemangiomas).
