16 month old born with dark real spot on top of head. how can i tell if its a mole or birth mark. it has gotten bigger of course the more she grows. any help would be appreciated?

A pediatrician exam and or a referral to a dermatologist is the most accurate way to find out what the spot on the head is. It may be a normal birth mark that many newborns develop.
