Newborn babies are as delicate as jade, and their skin is very tender, but many babies have some blue and dark blue birthmarks on their buttocks and backs when they are born. Many mothers are more afraid. What's going on? In fact, this kind of blue spot is called "newborn Mongolian spot". There is also a beautiful legend about this kind of blue spot! Legend has it that before every baby finds his mother, he is a little angel around God, and they have a tail in God's hands. When he finds his mother on earth, he will break free from the earthly world. God couldn't bear to let them go and refused to let go, so the little guys tried their best to break their tails and come to their mother's side. After breaking free, they left a mark on their bodies. Therefore, this blue spot is the mark of the baby's love for his mother!
"Mongolian spot" on babies
Medically refers to this blue spot as "Mongolian spot" because melanocytes stay in the deep part of the dermis during the embryo during the transition from the neural crest to the epidermis during the embryo. Histologically, melanocytes can be seen staying deep in the dermis, so they are also called dermal melanosis. Mongolian spots are a common plaque in many newborns. After many newborns are born, there will be an oval cyan purple patch on the buttocks or waist. The area is much larger than the average birthmark, and the color is mainly cyan purple.
Generally speaking, Mongolian spots will not have much impact on children. Most of them will gradually become lighter as the child grows, until they disappear; but some Mongolian spots will also grow up as the child grows up, and you can go to the hospital for related treatment, such as short-pulse laser treatment.
Mongolian spots are generally the most common birthmark in neonates and are congenital, with an incidence rate of about 86.3%. Although the chance of it happens is quite high, most of the spots are benign skin changes and will almost fade naturally as the baby grows up. After all, this is the mark that the baby finds his mother, so let us carry this warm expression of love, experience the deep affection between parents and children, and cherish the little angel around us!
