Birthmark — What Samudrika Shastra Says
According to Brihat Samhita, dark patches and similar marks are read like moles, by body part — more auspicious on a man's right and a woman's left.
Samudrika also mentions a birthmark called 'lahsun'.
Birthmarks are usually harmless.
Brihat Samhita (52.9) says marks on a man's right side and a woman's left side are more auspicious; on the opposite side the effect is milder.

Frequently asked questions
Is this rule different for men and women?
Brihat Samhita (52.9) says marks on a man's right side and a woman's left side are more auspicious; on the opposite side the effect is milder.
Can the effect of a mole change?
Yes — Samudrika Shastra says good conduct outweighs every bodily mark; a person of good character is considered fortunate even with few good marks.
Should an 'unlucky' mole be removed?
There is no need to remove a mole for astrological reasons. If it changes in size, colour or border, bleeds or itches, see a dermatologist.
