Does Skin Coloration Indicate Cancer?
My daughter was born with a brown birthmark under her chin against drs telling me this was normal I have argued for 5 years to look into this marl as it grows more seriously! I have now noticed a purple mark on the birthmark itself I have made an appointment for early tomorrow. Is there any way to assert they examine her in more details or because im on medicade just allow them to continue to ignore this! Please tell me this is not a cancer sign!

hi madam,
usually such birth marks are related to a benign condition called hemangioma. but there can be other diagnoses also. so consultation with a good dermatologist is required. we will be able to discuss more if we know the exact diagnosis, not just a birth mark.
