Birthmark is a blemish or mark present on the skin at birth, also known as a nevus. The cause of most birthmarks is not known.
The commonest birthmarks are those due to clusters of abnormally dilated blood vessels (strawberry mark and port wine stain), and those due to patches of excessive pigmentation of the skin (brown to black marks).
Some birthmarks fade with time; others can be removed by laser treatment, surgery and skin-grafting. Some can only be camouflaged with cosmetics.
Some birthmarks add beauty but usually it subtract and divide ones beauty. I thought mine is a pigmentation but discovered to be a birthmark.
