Congenital nevi – In about one in 100 births however, the baby does have moles at birth. These are called congenital nevi, according to AAD. These are often called birthmarks. Depending on how large they are, they can be called large or giant nevus. Large nevi are defined as over 4 inches and happen in about one in every 20,000 births, according to the Nevus Network (NN). There are usually a number of smaller nevi on the body as well. Giant nevi cover much of the body and are rare, according to NN, occurring once in 250,000 to half a million births. These types of congenital moles should not be confused with vascular birthmarks such as port wine stains. (Read about Vascular Birthmarks
