A member asked:

Is it normal to have many light brown little birthmarks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Define "normal": Most people have birthmarks - although most are not present right at birth. The vast majority are of no consequence whatever, but a small minority have the potential to become dangerous. Let a dermatologist look at all of them so you can stop worrying about them.
