Birthmarks and Vascular Anomalies
Understanding Birthmarks
Birthmarks are common skin imperfections that are present at or shortly after birth. While most birthmarks are harmless and fade over time, understanding their different types and potential complications is crucial for proper management.
At Foley James D MD, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for various types of birthmarks, such as:
- Pigmented Birthmarks: These birthmarks occur due to an excess of pigment cells in the skin. They include café-au-lait spots, moles, and Mongolian spots.
- Vascular Birthmarks: These birthmarks are caused by abnormalities in blood vessels. They include hemangiomas, port-wine stains, and venous malformations.
Types of Vascular Anomalies
Vascular anomalies are conditions characterized by abnormal development or growth of blood vessels. Understanding the different types of vascular anomalies is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
Our team at Foley James D MD specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of vascular anomalies, including:
- Hemangiomas: Hemangiomas are benign tumors consisting of blood vessels. They can appear as red, raised, or bumpy marks on the skin and commonly occur on the head and neck.
- Port-Wine Stains: Port-wine stains are flat, red or purple birthmarks caused by abnormal blood vessels. They usually appear on the face and may darken over time.
- Venous Malformations: Venous malformations are abnormal clusters of veins. They can cause swelling, pain, or cosmetic concerns depending on their location and size.
