At what age do birthmarks stop growing?

They usually appear at around one to four weeks of age, then get bigger – sometimes quite quickly – for a few months. They stop growing between six and 12 months of age, then gradually disappear over the next few years. The skin of the birthmark is as strong as any other skin.

Are birthmarks genetic?

Some birthmarks are hereditary and run in families, but most aren’t. Very occasionally, some are caused by gene mutations.
