Early curettage of giant congenital naevi in new‐born infants, if performed during the first few weeks after birth, can have a substantial effect on the pigmentation of the lesions, reducing the number of pigmented cells and leaving only moderate scars. We describe our experience in a series of nine congenital naevi treated by curettage between the first and seventh week after birth. Histological changes that occur in the naevus during the first few days after birth mean that early treatment is needed to obtain a cosmetic improvement. Curettage as an early treatment for giant congenital naevi in new‐born infants provides cosmetic improvement and might decrease the risk of malignancy; however, the lesions are not cured. Naevus cells persist in the deep dermal layers and may come to the surface, such that close monitoring is needed long after curettage. The cosmetic improvement is likely to benefit the child's psychological development.
