A member asked:

My 9 month old son has what looks like a freckle on the roof of his mouth. should i be concerned? he eats and drinks fine

A doctor has provided 1 answer

New finding ? : Pigmented spots on the skin are for the most part harmless, as long as the 'freckle' does not change in color or shape over time, I wouldn't be concerned. Make sure it is checked regularly, and let your doctor know its there also
