Café-au-lait Spots 
These light brown patches can appear anywhere on the body. Having one or two is normal, but if you notice several large ones, consult your pediatrician — sometimes they can be linked to genetic conditions like neurofibromatosis.
Port-Wine Stains 
These are flat, pink-to-purple birthmarks that don’t fade over time. They’re caused by an overgrowth of blood vessels. In some cases, they might need medical attention — especially if near the eyes or face.
When to See a Doctor
Most birthmarks are harmless and fade on their own. However, see your pediatrician if:
- The mark changes color, shape, or grows rapidly.
- It bleeds, oozes, or becomes painful.
- There are multiple café-au-lait spots or large port-wine stains.
Final Thought
Every baby is unique, and so are their tiny marks. In most cases, these are just signs of natural growth and genetics — little reminders that your baby’s body is beautifully one-of-a-kind. Still, staying informed helps you know when something deserves a closer look.
