What should the color of baby birthmark be

summary

My best friend gave birth to a baby. It's very cute, so I often go to hold him. A few days ago, I went to play with him. As a result, I found a red mark on his buttock. After I asked him, I knew it was the birthmark. Today, let me talk about what the color of the birthmark should be.

What should the color of baby birthmark be

First, there are usually two types of infant birthmarks: vascular birthmarks and pigmented birthmarks. Vascular birthmarks are caused by abnormal development of blood vessels or lymphatic vessels under the skin. Depending on the depth of the blood or lymphatic vessels under the skin, the color of the birthmark can range from pink, red to cyan. Pigmented birthmarks are usually brown, gray, cyan or black, which are caused by abnormal development of pigment cells.

Second: the shape, size and color of a baby's birthmark vary greatly and may appear in any part of the body. Brown or light brown smooth plaques, sometimes may appear several plaques together. 20% - 50% of newborns will have one or two of these pigmented birthmarks. This birthmark usually becomes smaller as the baby grows up, but it may also become darker due to the sun.

Third: with blue or gray Mongolia spot: a large, smooth area of excess pigmentation, may grow in the back or buttocks, the most common in dark skin baby. 95% to 100% of Asians have this birthmark. Mongolian plaques usually disappear by the age of school, but they may never completely disappear. Port wine stains, also known as port wine stains: dark, berry colored patches.

Therefore, parents should pay attention to observe the condition of their children's birthmarks. If they can't disappear when they grow up, they should take correct measures to eliminate them. They must avoid blind medication and listen to folk prescriptions. At the same time, they should give their children less food with heavy pigment and pay attention to diet and work and rest rules.
