What Causes A Black Mole Inside The Cheek Of A Child?
Hello Doctors , I hope you can answer my question , this morning I saw a black mole inside the right cheek of my 22 months old baby girl? I just saw it now I don't know how long it was there but I just noticed this morning. Can you please tell me what it was? thanks.
hi i have read your query.it can be a nevus.A melanocytic nevus is a type of lesion that contains nevus cells (a type of melanocyte).The majority of moles appear during the first two decades of a person's life, with about one in every 100 babies being born with moles.Acquired moles are a form of benign neoplasm, while congenital (present with birth) moles, or congenital nevi, are considered a minor malformation or hamartoma and may be at a higher risk for melanoma.its better you get it checked out with a oral physician. hope this ans helps
