How are café-au-lait spots diagnosed?

After your child is born, your child’s healthcare provider will physically examine your baby to make sure they’re healthy. During this exam, they will take note of any birthmarks on your child’s body, including café-au-lait spots and ask you to keep an eye on how many your child has as they grow older. Spots might not be entirely visible on your newborn, but they might become more visible after your child turns two years old or after sun exposure.
