Birthmarks are patches of coloured skin on or under a newborn baby's skin. Birthmarks are typically formed before birth but sometimes appear soon after the baby is born. Birthmarks often fade or disappear altogether, but others stay the same or get bigger and darker. This category describes the various sizes, shapes, and colours of birthmarks. This category also addresses when to seek medical counsel regarding changes to birthmarks.
