What can I expect if I have a child with café-au-lait spots?

Café-au-lait (CAL) spots are present from birth and will be with your child for their entire life. The spots may change size and shape over time and could become more noticeable when exposed to the sun. If you see that your child acquires more than six CAL spots on their body, visit your child’s healthcare provider to see if the spots could be a sign of an underlying genetic condition.
