When a child is born, the family's first concern is whether the child has any deformities, followed by checking whether the child's body is healthy. Some attentive mothers may also check their children's skin, and at this time, they may discover moles on their bodies, which can scare mothers to death. Is it normal for children to have moles?
Whether a child has moles is normal depends on the type of mole. If the mole is less than 5 millimeters, with a smooth surface, neat edges in contact with the skin, and no itching or pain, it proves to be a normal mole, which is generally benign. Generally, benign moles do not gradually grow larger with the growth of children, and there will be no symptoms such as bleeding or pus discharge in the day after tomorrow.
But if the mole is large, exceeding 5 millimeters, and gradually grows larger as the child grows. Moreover, the surface of this mole is not smooth, with a lot of dandruff, and there may be symptoms such as bleeding, yellow water, and suppuration. Therefore, such a mole is abnormal and is highly likely to be malignant. The edges of malignant moles that come into contact with the skin are generally irregular and serrated.
If a mother cannot determine whether a child's mole is benign or malignant on her own, she should promptly seek medical diagnosis after discovering the mole to avoid delaying the child's condition. After confirming that it is a benign mole, you can rest assured. If the child grows up and finds it unattractive, laser treatment can be used to remove it.
