Neurofibromatosis Type 1 treatment in Aguascalientes

NF1 stands for neurofibromatosis type 1, a genetic disease that affects the growth of nerve tissue and often leaves visible signs on the skin. It accompanies the person from an early age, and its expression varies greatly from one case to another.

Common manifestations:

• Café-au-lait (light brown) spots on the skin
• Small benign lumps along the nerves
• Freckles in areas such as the armpits or groin

Why follow up? Because it is a condition that can affect different organs over time, regular monitoring allows changes to be detected in a timely way.

Specialists involved: The pediatrician supports its detection in childhood, the dermatologist assesses the skin manifestations, and the neurologist evaluates the nerve component. If you notice several spots or compatible signs, it is worth raising it with a professional.
