A birthmark was left on the baby's legs after birth. Grandma said that she must have been beaten for people in her previous life, so this mark will be available in this life.
So how much knowledge do we know about birthmarks?
Birthmarks are mainly black birthmarks and hemangiomas. Different birthmarks are also different.
Mongolian spots : Generally occur on the shoulders, buttocks and back, and are marks that will be found at birth. Most babies can see the plaques on their bodies. The plaques are dark blue and there is no other change in the skin surface. The pigment color of Mongolian spots will become lighter and lighter as the baby grows older. Generally, babies will disappear naturally between 3 and 5 years old, so there is no need for treatment.
Congenital melanin spots or melanin mole : There are generally two situations: protruding flesh moles and black moles , which is the most common moles. Generally, benign cell nevi will not disappear. Some nevi will also grow hair and do not require special treatment. However, once the mole is too large, we can remove it and avoid cancer.
Coffee milk spots : The plaques are brown and will appear as soon as they are born, and the number of plaques will gradually increase after birth. These are benign and do not require treatment.
Oda mother spot : Generally, it grows on the face and around the eyes. As the child grows older, the number of plaques will increase. It may appear in adolescence. This will not disappear on its own, and it is a benign birthmark.
Hemangioma : Hemangioma will not be discovered until the baby is about one year old, and will gradually protrude, and it will grow bigger and bigger. It will basically appear on the head, face and neck, which can easily cause trouble to the child's appearance. Hemangiomas can be divided into strawberry moles and cavernous hemangiomas
As they grow older, most strawberry moles will disappear on their own, and the color will gradually become lighter and the shape will become smaller, so most babies will return to normal, and only a few will not disappear completely until they are ten years old.
Cavernoid hemangioma is a relatively deep hemangioma , and the range will also become larger and larger, which is likely to affect the child's blood circulation and is a relatively dangerous hemangioma. Not only will this not disappear on its own, we cannot ignore it.
So we need to distinguish whether the birthmark of the child is benign or malignant. It is important to distinguish whether the birthmark of the child is benign or malignant. However, the birthmark of the baby will not become malignant. So we must be clear which birthmarks will be malignant.
red birthmarks generally will not become cancerous. Just pay attention to whether the growing part is near the eyes, nose and mouth, and affect the physiological functions of the baby. If there is bleeding, cracks, or ulcers, or local bulges, you must seek medical treatment in time, otherwise the care method is the same as the skin care system.
The black spots in the black birthmark may evolve into birthmarks of cancer cells, and parents should pay attention to cavernous hemangiomas. If the baby’s birthmark happens to be on the face, which affects the appearance of the child and will have an impact on the child’s future life and communication, then parents should wait until the older baby is older and then consider treating
We should also take good care of the birthmarks
For birthmarks, we should not believe in folk remedies, and we should not break them by ourselves. Where the baby has a birthmark, we should pay attention to moisturizing when taking care of the skin. We can apply more lotion or clean it with normal saline to avoid infection. Pay attention to sun protection when the birthmark after laser is exposed, and wound care and return treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's instructions.
