What to do if a child has a black mole on his heel

If a child has a nevus on the heel, it may be a congenital nevus or a acquired nevus, so the size and shape of the nevus should be closely observed, and the nevus should be treated by physical therapy and surgery as prescribed by the doctor.
1. Congenital nevus: it is a kind of pigmented nevus, which occurs when a child is born, and as the child grows up, the surface of the skin lesion can be folded into a wart-like black plaque. If there is no abnormal manifestation, no special treatment is needed. If the size and color change, you can do laser or freezing treatment when the child is a little older.
2. Acquired nevus: it may be caused by the increase of pigmented nevus cells and the secretion of melanin, etc. If there is no abnormality, no special treatment is needed; if the nevus becomes bigger or black, it can be treated by laser or freezing; if the nevus grows rapidly and the surface of the nevus is ulcerated and bleeding, it may be malignant lesions such as malignant melanoma, which should be surgically excised in general.
If a child has a mole on the heel, it is recommended to observe it closely, and the area where the mole grows needs to avoid friction and excessive rubbing. If you find that the mole grows rapidly, the surface of the mole appears ulcerated, bleeding and other symptoms, parents should take their children to regular hospitals in a timely manner, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
