Skin Marks
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Skin marks are visible changes on its surface, such as spots, moles, lesions, scars, or small bumps. They may be present from birth or appear over time, and most are harmless.
What to pay attention to: It is worth watching for marks that change in size, color, or shape, that bleed, itch, or do not heal, since those changes deserve evaluation.
Common causes: They may be due to sun exposure, age, hereditary factors, friction, or processes inherent to the skin.
Which specialist evaluates them? The dermatologist is the one who evaluates skin lesions; in infants and children the pediatrician or the neonatologist can guide the first step. If a mark raises doubts or changes, the prudent course is to show it to a professional.
