Birthmark Removal Treatment in Mumbai, India

Birthmarks are a very common thing among people not only in India, but all across the world. Most of us have birthmarks on some part of the body. A birthmark is a congenital anomaly on the skin of babies that appears just after the baby is born. The time taken for a birthmark to appear is normally a month. Birthmarks can be profound or can be barely noticeable. The cause of birthmarks is an overgrowth of blood vessels, fibroblasts, melanocytes, fat, smooth muscles, etc. Some cultures consider birthmarks to be a symbol of luck.

Birthmarks can appear on any part of the body. However when they appear on the face and hands area then some people might be embarrassed by these birthmarks. Hence people opt for birthmark removal treatment in Mumbai India to give the skin an even look.

Types of Birthmarks

Birthmark Removal

Birthmarks can be divided into two broad categories – one is a vascular birthmark and the other a pigmented birthmark. Both these categories of birthmarks are further divided.

Vascular birthmarks

  • Stork bite birthmark– Stork bite’s scientific name is nevus flammeus nuchae. This kind of birthmark is also called “angel’s kiss” and is generally a pink and flat spot on the skin. These birthmarks are commonly found at the back of a knee or neck. Sometimes they are even found on the forehead or eyelids or even on the lips. Almost half of all babies possess such a birthmark. All of these kinds of birthmarks can be removed though, so always consult a dermatologist before you go looking for what birthmark removal treatment in Mumbai India is available for you.
  • Hemangioma– Also known as strawberry birthmark mark, this spot is a benign tumor. This can occur both on the surface of the skin or deep into the skin. This kind of birthmark mainly appears just after birth but disappears before the onset of puberty.
  • Post-wine stain birthmarks– These types of birthmarks are also known as nevus famous. They are often mistaken as hemangiomas. These birthmarks occur at birth and range from pale pink to deep pink, hence the name. They are commonly large and are formed when there is no nerve supply to the blood vessels. As a result, blood vessels are dilated, which in turn causes blood to pool around the affected area, and thus the red spot occurs in the form of a birthmark.

Pigmented birthmarks

  • Mole– probably the most common type of birthmark. Surely they are the kinds of birthmarks that people are most familiar with. Scientifically, moles are called congenital melanocytic nevus. These birthmarks are very commonly located in the neck and the head. People in India seem to have fewer moles as birthmarks than Caucasians.
  • Cafe au lit spot– These kinds of birthmarks are generally oval-shaped and range from light brown to deep brown. These spots can be found in any part of the body and appear during one’s childhood as a birthmark. In case a person gains weight, this birthmark too gets larger.
  • Mongolian spot– This too is a benign spot that is flat on the skin. This kind of birthmark is usually found in people from East Asia and that is why it has been named such. The birthmark is also common in native Americans and East Africans. These spots are mainly seen after birth although they tend to disappear before puberty.
