What Are Café au Lait Spots, and Should You Be Concerned About Them? - #15206
I recently noticed a few light brown patches on my skin that look like café au lait spots. I read that these are harmless birthmarks, but sometimes they can be linked to certain medical conditions. How do you know if café au lait spots are normal, or if they’re a sign of something serious? From what I understand, café au lait spots are common in children and can appear anywhere on the body. But if someone has multiple café au lait spots, does that mean they should get tested for neurofibromatosis or other genetic disorders? Are there any natural treatments or skin-lightening remedies that can help fade café au lait spots, or are they permanent? If anyone has café au lait spots, I’d love to hear if they changed over time or remained the same. Should I be monitoring them for any changes?
