What is it?
Mongolian spots are flat, bluish-gray or blue-black patches that are present at birth or appear shortly after. They are most commonly seen on the lower back, buttocks, or hips and are more frequent in infants with darker skin tones. These spots are caused by pigment cells trapped in deeper layers of the skin and are completely harmless.
How it works
At Claire Derma, evaluation involves confirming the diagnosis and reassuring parents about the benign nature of Mongolian spots. The dermatologist examines the size, color, and location of the spot to rule out other conditions. No active treatment is usually required, and the focus is on observation and parental counseling.
