Birthmarks

Most birthmarks are harmless, but understanding what you have and when to act makes all the difference.

Schedule Online
AAD - Birthmarks - Banner copy

What Are Birthmarks?

Birthmarks are colored marks on the skin that are present at birth or appear shortly after. They vary widely in size, shape, color, and depth, and while most are completely benign, some can be associated with underlying health conditions or carry a small risk of changing over time.

Birthmarks fall into two main categories: vascular birthmarks, which form from abnormal blood vessels under the skin, and pigmented birthmarks, which result from an overgrowth of pigment cells. Common types include port-wine stains, hemangiomas, café-au-lait spots, congenital moles (nevi), and Mongolian spots, among others.

Whether you're seeking clarity on a mark you've had your whole life or noticing a change that warrants a closer look, our board-certified dermatologists are here to evaluate, monitor, and treat birthmarks with care tailored to you.

Causes
Abnormal Blood Vessel Development
Vascular birthmarks form when blood vessels cluster or develop irregularly beneath the skin's surface during fetal growth.
Pigment Cell Overgrowth
Pigmented birthmarks result from an overgrowth or localized concentration of melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin color.
Genetic Factors
Some birthmark types have a hereditary component, meaning a family history may increase the likelihood of certain marks.
Developmental Changes
Most birthmarks originate from changes that occur naturally during fetal development, before or shortly after birth.
Post-Birth Appearance
Not all birthmarks are visible at birth. Hemangiomas, for example, typically develop within the first few weeks of life and may grow before gradually fading.
Symptoms
Discolored Skin Patch
A visible area of skin that differs in color from the surrounding skin, present at birth or shortly after.
Color Variations
Vascular birthmarks often appear pink, red, or purple. Pigmented birthmarks range from tan and brown to blue-black.
Defined or Irregular Borders
Birthmarks may have smooth, well-defined edges or irregular, less predictable outlines.
Changes Over Time
Some birthmarks fade or shrink naturally, while others may grow or shift in appearance.
Tenderness or Bleeding
In rare cases, a birthmark may become tender or bleed, which warrants prompt evaluation.
TREATMENT OPTIONS

How Are Birthmarks Treated?

Many birthmarks require no treatment at all. When intervention is appropriate for cosmetic reasons, discomfort, or health concerns, our dermatologists will recommend a personalized plan based on the type, size, and location of your birthmark.

Great experience for removal of basal cell lesion. Friendly, instructive and quick! Entire experience took less than 45 minutes, in the door and back out. Provided information throughout, and a very caring attitude. I didn't enjoy the medical reason I was there but the P.A., assistants, and front desk all worked together to make it "painless."

Hello, I used this facility while I was visiting from Puerto Rico. It is very clean when you walk in and also throughout the building. The receptionist was beautiful, kind, very fun to talk to, and very helpful. Dan is the one who performed my injections, and he did a fabulous job. Very much took the time to make sure that it was the proper amount, angled, right, put dots and lines all over my face, let me look in the mirror, explained everything to me, also gave us honest opinion if I needed more or less of anything. I highly recommend anyone living in Sevierville or visiting to use the clinic. You will not be disappointed.

Bill Kras has been taking care of my children for several years and I am very pleased with his approach to pediatric dermatology. He and his staff always make the kids feel comfortable.

My son and I both go here and like the doctors and location. No traffic and is easy to get into the office with plenty of parking. I had an issue with a refill and it sucks to be wrong but when you are, you Def gotta fix it. Orginal review, I had a refill issue and CVS showed me a failed attempt at a refill 1 week after it was called in on 1 of my prescriptions. But it seems maybe this was their mistake as AAD shows 1 prescription called in. Besides the confusion, I didn't know you have 1 year to get your refill so that trumps all and is why I couldn't get it filled. I tried 1 month after prescribed date the next year. This seems it was my mistake and CVS misinformation by them. Wouldn't be the first time but overall I should of got my refill before 1 year mark. Which I had no clue their was a time frame for refills.

My husband and I had CO2 laser done by Sharnel Reed, NP, and I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience We were both nervous going in especially my husband, who wasn’t convinced laser would be effective for men\. I’ve also had microneedling, chemical peels, and laser in the past, so I was worried this would be another disappointing experience. But Sharnel completely changed our minds,She was gentle, thorough, made sure we were comfortable, and took the time to educate us about our individual skin, concerns, and how to safely get the best results.The entire experience was a **360° turnaround from what we expected My husband was so impressed he said, I won’t let another woman touch my face if it’s not her,That says it all. Sharnel is absolutely amazing, and we definitely won’t be going to anyone else. We can’t wait to see our final results! 10/10 experience ❤️✨

The doctor was friendly and listened to my concerns. She thoroughly explained the procedures before she did them and did not rush me when I had questions.

I had an appointment with Julie the first of this month. I have been seeing her for years now, and have never been let down. I went to the office in Rockingham, and cannot say enough good things about all the staff. But, somebody needs to take that "burnie" thing away from her. She came in the exam room with that thing strapped to her waist and hanging low. She drew it, burned me, and had in back on her side before I knew what was going on......... I had great care and enjoyed myself a lot, cannot say that about many Doctors office. Thanks to everyone there and keep up the good job. Fred

I've been a patient for over 2 years. The front office staff is courteous and efficient. I see Charu for all my aesthetic services. She is knowledgeable, and has integrity and insures I don't go overboard when I request services that aren't in my best interest. Bottom line... natural and refreshing results. Charu has a great "chair side" manner.

I have been going to Sarah for years and she is an absolute pro. I am always excited to see her, even though she sticks needles in my face! I know I will get exactly what I need. She never pressures me for anything, she's honest about expectations and she answers all of my questions thoroughly. 100% Reccomend.

Dr. Ismail is hands down the kindest and most compassionate doctors I’ve ever met. She was a real person and not just scribbling away and trying to get me out the door. I’m very grateful for a positive experience and hope other doctors are as kind as she is!

I have been seeing Dr. Connie in April and the rest of the staff there over three years now. The only regret that I have is that I can’t go about once a week. I just love those people. They’re so kind and Dr. Connie is so gentle she’s just amazing. And she has had me on the same medication for my black psoriasis and it has worked out wonderfully God bless each and every one of them and I hope they stay in business for a good long time. I would recommend them over anybody in the Tri-County area because I’ve seen two or three of them and Connie and her staff are barn. Hands-down the best that I’ve ever been. I can’t leave April her office manager out. She is absolutely amazing just like Dr Connie!! She is an absolutely amazing human being. She cares so much for her patience. And I just tell you I don’t think I wanna go anywhere else. My wife and I will be lifelong fans of Dr. Connie and April as well as the practice because everybody in there is wonderful God bless each and everyone of you and have a great day.

I have had a series of needs for Mho’s procedures on the top of my head and arms. Being the person I am, I’m always asking questions. I want to know detail. The difference with this company / office in Newnan Georgia is that they take the time to answer. Polite and with understanding . Of course, the procedures are done with top notch medical care and concern for my comfort ( in my case pain management due location). I understand the company has offices in many parts of the United States and if they are anything like the Newnan staff, I would say unequivocally……. go knock on their door. Thomas S. Drolet

ADDRESSING TOP BIRTHMARK CONCERNS

Your Birthmark Questions, Answered

Most birthmarks are harmless and require no treatment. However, some types, particularly large congenital moles, carry a slightly increased risk of developing into melanoma and should be monitored by a dermatologist. A professional evaluation is the best way to understand your specific situation.

Yes, depending on the type and location. Laser therapy, surgical excision, and other treatment options can reduce or fully remove many birthmarks. During a consultation, your provider will recommend the most appropriate approach for your skin.

Some birthmarks fade on their own, particularly hemangiomas in children. Others remain stable throughout life. Any noticeable change in size, shape, color, or texture should be evaluated by a dermatologist.

You should schedule an evaluation if your birthmark is changing, bleeding, itching, or causing discomfort. Our dermatologists can assess any mark and give you a clear, straightforward answer.

Have Questions About a Birthmark?

Whether you want to keep an eye on a birthmark or explore treatment, our board-certified dermatologists can help you decide what's best.
