📋Overview
Birthmarks are benign skin markings present at birth or appearing shortly after. They are a broad category including various types such as pigmented marks and vascular malformations. The term 'birthmarks' is a general descriptor rather than a specific diagnosis. Common modern classifications include pigmented birthmarks (e.g., congenital melanocytic nevi) and vascular birthmarks (e.g., hemangiomas, port-wine stains).
