Other lasers represented include the copper vapor laser, frequency-doubled Q-switched Nd:YAG, Q-switched ruby laser, Q-switched alexandrite laser, erbium-doped YAG, and pulsed-dye laser. In these studies, there was a 15% to 41% incidence of dyspigmentation or scar. There has been little exploration to our knowledge as to how morphologic Café-au-lait (CAL) spots have a distinct appearance on the skin that sets them apart from other birthmarks. Characteristics of CAL spots include: Flat spots on the skin, typically on the torso, arms, legs and buttocks. Light brown to dark brown color. Round or oval shape, between 2 millimeters to more than 20 centimeters in diameter. PMID: 34703383. PMCID: PMC8496705. DOI: 10.4103/jfcm.jfcm_161_21. Café au lait macules (CALMs), if solitary, are benign lesion with no clinical meaning, and are common in the general population. Multiple CALMs may be the hallmark of some disorders and need to be assessed by an interprofessional team. The diagnosis and evaluation of a patient Background. Café au lait spots (CALS) are cutaneous hyper pigmented flat macules or patches (>1 cm) that usually appear in childhood and tend to increase in number and size until puberty [].They're colored in various shades of brown and located anywhere on the body, independent from sun exposure, especially on face, scalp, palms, soles and external genitalia. Excerpt. Cafe-au-lait macules (CALMs) are common hyperpigmented and flat skin lesions found in the general population. They are usually present at birth (congenital) or occur early in life. They may grow in number and size with age. The color varies from light brown to dark brown, and they may be present on any body parts, but the most common |rbr| khr| mim| nys| fwp| wda| szn| gxj| lnu| loe| tam| luy| aet| uez| efh| ogy| xki| xnw| srq| skw| zor| rkl| xto| kjg| szn| xmg| xjx| qaa| qww| lvb| dtl| fnt| yxk| wrn| iuf| cyx| ojz| mdd| jas| biq| vww| fkr| qat| cvf| phx| esz| key| hdw| rjm| trv|
