I have a cafe-au-lait birthmark on my stomach that is rather huge and edgy in apperance, i've read about nh1, is that a risk? i've yet showed a derm

Doubt it: Not all brown pigment patches are cafe au lait spots, and it it were, a single patch would not meet criteria for NF1. If your internet searches have triggered some stress, you need to have your doc look at it.Some will know what you are dealing with or will know which consultant derm is available locally.
