What are various kinds of birthmarks?
Vascular Birthmarks:
- Salmon patch (nevus simplex): These are flat, pink, or red patches that are commonly found on the back of the neck, forehead, or eyelids. They often fade on their own over time.
- Port-wine stain (nevus flammeus): These are large, flat, pink, or red birthmarks caused by dilated blood vessels. They typically persist and may darken over time.
- Strawberry hemangioma: These are raised, red birthmarks that can appear shortly after birth and grow rapidly in the first months of life. They tend to shrink and fade over several years.
- Cavernous hemangioma: These are deeper birthmarks made up of larger blood vessels. They appear as bluish or purplish bumps or masses and may require medical attention depending on their size and location.
There are different ways that a birthmark can be removed, depending upon its type, size, location and other factors.
Laser Therapy
This form of treatment can be done at any age and it needs several sittings. Lasers are used in treatment of birthmarks which lies very close to the skin surface such as port-wine stains. During this treatment short bursts of laser lights are used which shrinks the birthmark and can even stop the growth also.
Surgery
Surgery is opted when the other method have failed to give the result. Hemangioma which is seen on the internal organ of the screen requires general anesthesia.
Medicines
Mainly steroids are prescribed for removing birthmarks. These medicines are used in treatment of different types of birth marks
Pigmented Birthmarks:
- Café-au-lait spots: These are light brown to dark brown patches that are typically oval or irregularly shaped. They can be present at birth or develop during early childhood.
- Mongolian spot: These are blue-gray or bluish birthmarks that usually appear on the lower back or buttocks. They are more commonly found in people with darker skin tones.
- Congenital melanocytic nevus: These are dark, pigmented birthmarks that can vary in size and appearance. They can be present at birth or develop soon after and may range from small to large.
- Dermal melanocytosis (commonly called "Mongolian blue spot"): Similar to Mongolian spots, these are bluish-gray patches commonly seen on the lower back or buttocks. They are more prevalent in individuals with darker skin tones.
What are the various methods that are used by our dermatologists to remove birthmarks?
- Laser therapy: Laser treatment is commonly used for birthmark removal. Different types of lasers, such as pulsed dye lasers or Q-switched lasers, can target the specific components of the birthmark, such as blood vessels or pigment. Laser therapy can help lighten or remove certain types of birthmarks without damaging the surrounding skin.
- Surgical excision: Surgical excision involves cutting out the birthmark and stitching the wound closed. This method is often used for raised birthmarks or those that are too large or deep for other treatments. The excised tissue may be sent for laboratory analysis to rule out any underlying concerns.
- Dermabrasion: Dermabrasion uses a rotating brush or a burr with diamond particles to gently remove the top layers of the skin, including the birthmark. This method is more suitable for superficial birthmarks.
- Chemical peels: Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layers to peel off. This process can help fade or eliminate certain types of pigmented birthmarks.
