Q: Are moles on my new baby potentially dangerous?

A: Only about 1 percent of infants are born with a mole.  Moles are pigmented cells that cluster together and are known as a “congenital nevus.” If born with them, they can be brown, tan or pink in color but can also look like a blue-grayish bruise.  They are usually oval or round and about the size of pencil eraser.  A congenital nevus is typically harmless unless it is really large (bigger than 8 inches), in which case the risk of developing melanoma over the first five or ten years of life increase by as much as 10 percent and must be followed by a dermatologist.
