Abstract
ABSTRACTA total of 1319 3‐year‐old Japanese children were examined for nevi. Moles (small nevocellular nevi) were found in 40% of those examined; blue nevi could not be found at this age. Common Mongolian spots (Mongolian spots over the back and buttocks) were found in 94.8% and aberrant Mongolian spots (Mongolian spots appearing in other areas) in 4.4%. Brown Mongolian spots, a phenomenon appearing in some of those in the disappearing phase of Mongolian spots, appeared in 15.8%. Salmon patches on the eyelids and forehead had disappeared by age 3, but some regressing strawberry marks could be observed at this age.
