Whether during pregnancy or after the baby is born, one of the most worrying questions for the family is whether the baby is healthy.
And some babies are not so white on their delicate skin after they are born, especially on their backs and buttocks, where there will be a large area of bruises. Are these bruises birthmarks?
Some old people say that if the baby has a birthmark on his body after he is born, it is very likely that he was beaten by the King of Hell when he was reincarnated. Of course, this statement is a superstitious statement.
Some people also say that the baby is squeezed by the birth canal at birth, which in turn causes bruises on the baby's body. Some people also say that it is because the baby did not cry after it was born, so the nurse left bruises on the baby when she slapped the baby. After the baby is born, some bruises may appear on his body. What's going on?
Why do newborns have large patches of blue spots? Does it affect the baby's health?
In fact, there are many babies who have just been born and have some bruises on their butts. In fact, this kind of blue spot is medically called Mongolian spots, which belongs to a congenital dermal melanocytosis. It may have an 80% incidence for newborns. Therefore, it is quite common for newborns to have Mongolian spots.
After the baby is born, Mongolian spots appear on the body. Generally, there is no need to worry too much. As the baby gradually develops, these blue marks will gradually disappear.
And so far, no deterioration problems have occurred in the Mongolian class, and since Mongolian spots are a congenital problem, so far, no corresponding method has been found to prevent it.
Under normal circumstances, this purple mark on the baby will gradually grow larger when it is around 1 to 2 years old and will completely fade before the age of 10. However, if other marks appear on the body after the baby is born, especially some red birthmarks, you must consult a doctor in time to avoid being pathological.
