Intro (Hemangioma) - Medtick

  • A common condition which is coloured marks that can be seen on the skin.
  • They usually appear at birth or appear just afterwards.
  • They occur with age (as one gets older) and sun exposure.

  • All birthmarks have a 2–5% lifetime risk of turning into a cancerous (malignant) mole, which is called melanoma. This risk is higher in children who have a giant (larger than 20 cm, or about 8 inches) congenital melanocytic nevus.
  • Large moles on the head or spine may rarely have associated nervous system problems.
