Birthmarks are coloured marks on the skin that are present at birth or develop shortly after birth. They can be many different sizes, shapes, and colours, including brown, tan, black, blue, pink, white, red, or purple. It is not clear why some children have birthmarks and others do not.

Moles are a collection of tiny, pigmented cells called melanocytes. You may have a single mole or a collection of tiny moles all in the same area on your skin. Most of the time moles appear on your torso but some people have moles on their face, arms, legs and even around their genitals.
