What is it?
Pigmented moles in children are dark-colored spots or growths on the skin that develop due to clusters of pigment-producing cells. These moles may be present at birth or appear during childhood as the child grows. They can vary in size, shape, and color and are usually harmless. Most moles grow proportionately with the child and do not cause any symptoms.

How it works
At Claire Derma, evaluation of pigmented moles focuses on assessing their appearance, growth pattern, and any associated changes. The dermatologist examines the mole for size, color variation, borders, and surface texture. Most moles only require observation, while a few may need closer monitoring or treatment if they show unusual features.
