Benign pigmented skin spots—like moles, birthmarks, and freckles—are common in children and are usually harmless.
- Lentigines are small, brown spots caused by extra pigment in the skin. Unlike freckles, they don’t fade when sun exposure stops. They come in two main types:
- Simple lentigo: appears in childhood and isn’t related to the sun.
- Solar lentigo: develops on sun-exposed areas like the face or hands. These are harmless but show signs of sun damage and can indicate a higher risk of skin cancer later in life.
- Café-au-lait macules (CALM) are light to dark brown flat patches that may appear at birth or early in childhood. A few are common, but six or more can sometimes suggest neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic condition affecting nerves and skin.
- Dermal melanocytoses (like Mongolian spots and nevus of Ota) occur when pigment cells are deeper in the skin, giving a bluish-gray color. Nevus of Ota can appear around the eyes and may rarely cause eye problems, so regular eye exams are recommended.
