Birthmarks: Patient Education from University of Colorado Hospital

Living with Birthmarks

Birthmarks rarely cause problems, although you may not like the way they look. Your doctor can help you to decide on removing a birthmark. 

If you are worried about a birthmark on your child, remember that it may fade or even disappear as he or she gets older.

Getting a Second Opinion about Birthmarks

The doctors and staff of the Dermatology team at University of Colorado Hospital are happy to provide second opinions for patients in the community.
