Does one have:
(Most salmon patches will fade completely within a few months, but if they occur on the forehead they may take up to four years to disappear, if on neck it may take longer).
(Rapidly increase in size for the first six months ranging in size from a few millimeters to centimeters and then eventually become smaller and disappear by around age of seven years old, more common in girls)
(Many children have one or two, but if have more than six patches which have developed by the time the child is five years old, Please see your Medical doctor. It could be a sign of neurofibromatosis, a number of genetic conditions that cause tumours to grow along the nerves)
(Mongolian spots may last for months or years, but they usually disappear by the time a child reaches four years of age).
It can be mistaken for a bruise.
(They become smaller and less obvious with time, although they may darken during puberty or become bumpy or hairy).
Common locations for these birthmarks are the buttocks, thighs, and trunk, sometimes these birthmarks may occur on the face. Less common areas include on the palms, foot soles, and head scalp.
The larger the moles are the more at risk of skin cancer though it is rare
