When to seek care? It is advisable to have them checked when they multiply, become irritated or inflamed, or raise questions about their origin.

Who treats it? The dermatologist, and in children the pediatric dermatologist, is the appropriate specialist to evaluate skin lesions. With new spots or bumps that do not go away, a professional consultation helps clarify what it is.
