Pigmented Birthmarks treatment in Aguascalientes

Pigmented birthmarks are skin spots present at birth or that arise in the first months of life, with a coloring darker than the surrounding skin due to a higher concentration of pigment.

How they look: they vary in size, shape, and tone, from light cafe-au-lait spots to congenital moles of different colors; most are benign.

When is it worth having them checked? If a mark grows noticeably, changes color or shape, bleeds, or is accompanied by other signs, it is prudent to have it evaluated.

Which specialist treats them? The dermatologist evaluates skin lesions; in newborns the neonatologist and the pediatrician take part, and the general practitioner can guide the first visit. A professional evaluation helps distinguish common marks from those that require follow-up.
