There are two main types of birthmarks: pigmented birthmarks and vascular birthmarks.

Pigment is a fancy word for color. These types of birthmarks happen when you have more pigment in one part of your skin. It's like a spot on your skin. The types of pigmented birthmarks are: Moles, Cafe-au-lait spot, Mongolian spots

Vascular birthmarks

Your heart and blood vessels - the little highways that move blood through your body - are your vascular system.
