Why do newborns have birthmarks

summary

When my son was born, there was a piece of red on his buttock. After asking the doctor, the doctor said that it was a birthmark, which many children would have when they were born. He also told me not to worry. He said that when the child grew up, the birthmark would gradually fade, but if he grew up, he would come to the hospital for surgery. Now I'd like to share with you why newborns have birthmarks.

Why do newborns have birthmarks

Reason 1: the serious lack of trace elements such as zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, phenylalanine and tyrosine in human serum affects the biochemical process of pigment synthesis, resulting in the abnormal increase of pigment cells and the formation of plaques gradually spreading through the epidermis caused by neurotransmission.

Reason 2: the reason for the formation of birthmarks is that capillary hemangioma is similar to red birthmarks in appearance in the early stage, but most of them appear about half a month after birth, and grow rapidly within 6 months after birth. It is 0.3-0.5 cm higher than the skin, showing purplish red and gradually becoming bright red.

Reason 3: not only in the skin, all organs of the body can occur, sometimes large and deep to the subcutaneous tissue or muscle layer.

matters needing attention

Birthmark can be divided into pigmented birthmark and vascular birthmark. Pigmented birthmark refers to the increase of pigment deposition in epidermis or dermis, while vascular birthmark refers to the expansion and deformity of dermis or subcutaneous blood vessels.
