Child Born With Irregular Shaped Spot On Nose, Now Darkening. Cause For Concern?
Sure...my 6 and 1/2 yr old grandson was born with a small light colored, irregular shaped spot on the side of his nose . It s now darker and raise a bit. His mom has red hair and freckles. His daddy, my son, had olive skin and dark brown hair and did have several beauty marks on his skin. Is there cause for concern since this has become raised over the last several years?

yes by history this seem to be a case of neurocutaneous syndrome .
in his mom there is freckle and light colored hair - which may be one of sign of neurofibromatosis .
but in your child there is dark colored irregular shaped spot on the side of nose this also may be a marker of neurocutaneous syndrome .
give additional details of your child or consult to dermatologist for further evaluation
