Brown Spots
Posted: 07-25-05 16:33pm

My two year old grandson has small brown spots on his back above his left shoulder. As of three weeks ago he had 7 he now has nine. His Dr. Told us to let them know if he gets more so we called the office but she is on vacation. The new ones are , one on his neck and one on his hairline. He is very light skinned and we keep him covered in sun block. Should we be worried and will he keep getting them? :

Moles can appear until the age of about 20, so I would't worry if I were you. Using sunscreen is very good. Also tell your grandson not to hurt them. And follow them closely.Announce your doctor as soon as a mole changes in any way: size, shape, color, hair. And also keep him informed on any new moles appearing.

Good luck!
