Some people say that birthmarks are marks left in their previous lives, but dermatologists believe that birthmarks are caused by pigmentation and vascular abnormalities; laser elimination of birthmarks is becoming more and more common, but you must first understand the type and then evaluate whether it is lasered. However, no matter what, do not deal with birthmarks on your own to avoid wound infection!
How did the baby birthmark come from?
baby birthmark is a mark on the skin that is different from the normal skin color. It is usually found at birth or within a few weeks after birth. Birthmarks may be caused by local immature development during the development process of the fetus. Simply put, birthmarks are the excessive hyperplasia of a group of normal cells in the skin. Any cell in the skin may proliferate and form birthmarks on the skin.
Birthmark looks different. What are the categories?
The classification of birthmarks can be roughly divided into two types, and their appearance is roughly divided into black/blue or red. If it is a black or blue-gray birthmark, it is often caused by melanin hyperplasia, which is collectively called a black birthmark; if it is a red birthmark (which may be purple-red to pink depending on the depth), it is caused by abnormal vascular hyperplasia or dilation of the vascular lumen. In summary, one is "pigmented mother spots" and the other is "hemangioma", and "pigmented mother spots" can be further divided into these categories:
1. [Mongolian Spot]
Dark blue birthmarks. About 90% of Oriental people will have Mongolian spots at birth, and usually the color will gradually fade and disappear when they are about two or three years old (at the latest to six years old), and most of the occurrence areas are on the buttocks or lumbar vertebrae.
→Treatment method: No treatment is required, it will subside on its own.
2. [Epidermal Mother Spot]
is a disease of skin tissue hyperplasia, mostly skin tone or brown, while some are mixed with melanin. It is found from the time of neonatal age that it will grow as the baby grows, and gradually rises and protrudes in a wart-like shape and will not fade. About 40% of patients develop benign tumors or basal cell carcinoma during puberty.
→Treatment method: surgical resection or laser burn can be performed before puberty.
3. [Baker's Mother Spot]
This is a disease of tissue hyperplasia. The most common part of the hair is the front chest or back. It is mostly light brown in color, and it is palm-shaped, and is accompanied by hair hyperplasia. Usually it occurs obviously on one side at the beginning of puberty and will expand the hyperplasia, and is mostly fixed in size around the age of twenty-four. This condition does not affect health, it is just a matter of aesthetics.
→Treatment method: No treatment is needed, unless it is for the sake of beauty.
4. [Freckles]
is hereditary and mostly occurs during puberty, while sunbathing will aggravate the situation.
→Treatment method: It is necessary to strengthen the application of sunscreen, and if the removal method is to be completely removed, it must be done by ruby laser, and it must be performed one to three times.
Others such as "bone-observing spots", "Ota mother spots", "moles (and spots)", " coffee milk spots ", or the rare "beast skin spots" and "decolorized mother spots". If you want to be beautiful, you can all eliminate them by laser. Parents are also reminded that if the baby has obvious birthmarks on his body, it is best to ask a specialist to check and diagnose as soon as possible. If treatment is needed, it is also good to seize the best time.
