What is a birthmark

When we pick up some children, we are always surprised to find that there are some birthmarks on the children's bodies. Some people even think that this is brought from the previous life, or even think that this is a kind of fate. But in fact, this is just a phenomenon caused by abnormal skin pigmentation. So we don't need to be too superstitious about this problem. Let's take a detailed look at how birthmarks are formed.

Birthmark is actually an abnormal phenomenon caused by skin pigmentation, but it is not a disease and will not bring adverse effects to physical health. Therefore, when facing this problem, we don’t need to worry too much, but we should not be superstitious.

Birthmarks are generally caused by abnormal skin pigmentation or abnormal skin blood vessels, mainly including three categories: "spots", "moles", and "hemangiomas". Birthmarks may be found at birth or may only appear slowly after a few months of birth. Most birthmarks will gradually disappear as the baby grows, but a considerable number of birthmarks will never fade, or even grow larger with age; some may be manifestations of visceral diseases, which requires consultation with a professional dermatologist for early diagnosis and treatment.

Birthmarks can generally be divided into pigmented and vascular types. Common pigmented types include Ota's nevus, congenital melanocytic nevus, cafe au lait spots, etc., while vascular types include port-wine stains, strawberry hemangiomas, etc.

Birthmarks are not diseases, but a residual physical characteristic of the human body. All races have them, but the incidence rate varies. It is also closely related to a person's eye color, hair color, and skin color depth. Generally, among Caucasians, the relatives of babies with this mole and their own eye color, hair color and skin color are often darker; however, among babies with blond hair and blue eyes, this blue spot is extremely rare.

The above is an introduction to birthmarks. I believe that after these introductions everyone has a more comprehensive understanding. It turns out that birthmarks are not something sacred, or something brought from past lives. From a medical point of view, it is just a skin pigment caused. I hope everyone can understand birthmarks more scientifically.
