Birthmarks, nevi, in medical terms, are flat and convex, can have different shapes and sizes. Such spots appear due to abnormal development of body tissues. As a rule, nevus appears on the skin, but it also happens that they appear on the mucous membranes. On average, a person can have anywhere from twenty to one hundred birthmarks. During life, their number, as well as their shape and color, can change.
Moles on the human body cause an ambiguous reaction. They decorate someone, being a kind of zest. Someone is disfigured, especially when they appear on the face and are of considerable size.
If you want to get rid of birthmarks on your body, then you first need to be examined by a doctor.
