message: At the risk of being picky is there some way to change the table : it doesn't look very good. The width of the columns and the amount of text in the boxes makes it messy. What about merdging some of the columns in e.g. occurrance and typical size? 145.253.108.22 09:46, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I do not support the merging of this page with nevus.  There are many nevi which are not birthmarks, as well as many birthmarks which are not nevi. —Brim 03:27, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The dictionary definition (:wiktionary:naevus, dictionary.com) only mentions naevi as "congenital" or "arising ... early in life". I'd say that though the words aren't completely synonymous there is a fair amount of overlap, I'd support a merge. Zeimusu | Talk page 13:24, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not true at all.  How many newborn babies do you see with moles all over their bodies? Contrast this to the number of adults you see with moles.  Nevus is a bit of a blanket term for skin disorders, and there are about 20 or more different types of nevi.  It would be highly incorrect to merge this articles. —Brim 04:11, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Before I merged any articles I would recommend also checking out Mole (skin marking)
::Moles (melanocytic naevi) are a subset of naevi and one about which there is much to say, it should definitely stay seperate from these others. --Mike C | talk 11:07, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

message: What about birthmarks that change the color of someone's hair? I went to school with a guy who had a tiny little patch of blond in his strikingly jet black hair that he always called a birthmark. Then I was just reading that Dashboard Confessional's lead singer Chris Carrabba has a similar mark.
Do these types of birthmark have a name and what info can be added to the article about them? Very interesting stuff. Jihiro (talk) 16:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Birthmarks, as a whole, are extremely under researched. I've been on a few trips with my Grandfather(quite a while back) to a few Native American reservations(most/virtually all of these tribes untouched by european blood, mind you) on some medical assistance/help/etc/what have you(he was a great overall doctor(pediatrics, Geriatrics, PCP, etc..etc..what have you...but most of the time he helped the young(babies, children, w/e) )...and have come across this mongolian spot a few times, as well as him. But nothing close to 90, or even 75 percent. I've been to a few states, Canada, and a couple of countries south of the border with him. Maybe his opinion would have been considered(more or less) as expert. It is unfortunate he is no longer with us. He was a lovely, pleasant man...with a cheery disposition, and is missed by many people.76.173.87.34 (talk) 01:55, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
