They can be white, flesh-colored, yellow, pink, burgundy and black, appear on both visible and invisible areas of human skin, and have a convex and smooth surface. The shape and size may also vary. Birthmarks are observed without any special changes, as well as with some uneven areas of distribution.

One of them may be a frightening appearance; often removal for this reason occurs due to the influence of society on the owner of this neoplasm. Also, birthmarks that are in direct contact with any object must be eliminated. They are located on the front part, areas of the arms, neck, and on the legs - in the area of ​​​​the feet. It is not advisable to touch such stains; removal occurs as necessary based on the results of the examination. Treatment occurs with surgery, as well as with more gentle methods. These include:

1. Contact with cold - used when spots are detected on open areas of the body. After the procedure, inflammation is possible, which disappears after 2 weeks. During this period, the crust is dying off, which is necessary to expose the entire surface. The tumor can be eliminated with a high probability. As a result, the scar is practically invisible.
