NA sister received a message from a novice mother in the background. The novice mother has given birth to a child for more than a year. The baby is very cute and has good skin, but she found that there is a large area of "bruises" on the baby's butt and there is also on the bridge of the nose.
I heard from my friends around me that this was caused by the cold uterus of the expectant mother, but the baby's grandmother said that the blue butt is a birthmark, which means that the child is very smart in the future and will automatically disappear when the child grows up, but I don't know when it is exactly.
Newbie mothers are worried that green butt is a sign of some diseases, so they want to know what is going on and what should they do?
Newborns have "green butts", is it a sign of disease?
Some newborns, especially on their butts, will have some blue-gray marks, which are very similar to the "blue green" that has been beaten by adults. Some people think it is the natural marks of the baby. Some people think it is the gathering of foods that are too pigmented when the mother is preparing for pregnancy. Some people think it is the bruise caused by the nurse slapping the baby to cry after giving birth.
In fact, this "green butt" is also called "Mongolian spots". It is a normal physiological phenomenon and belongs to one of the types of birthmarks . And because this birthmark is more common among Mongolians, it is also called "Mongolian Spot".
Mongolian spots usually appear on newborn babies. The most common parts are: buttocks, chest and backs, waists, shoulders, etc. The color is blue and blue. There is no obvious protrusion or boundary feeling when touched with your hands, which is no different from the touch of ordinary people's skin.
Its shape and size are different, the small ones are slightly a few centimeters, and the large ones are distributed into pieces. Mongolian spots are caused by the accumulation and precipitation of melanocytes in in the dermis, and are a type of pigmented birthmark . There is no scientific basis for the clever statement about babies with Mongolian spots.
Because when the human body is still in the embryonic state, when melanocytes move from the neural spine to the epidermis, they cannot penetrate the junction between the epidermis and the dermis, and are trapped in the dermis, which will also present the large or small blue Mongolian spots we see.
What impact will Mongolian spots have on the human body? Do we need treatment? In fact, most Mongolian spots will gradually disappear as the baby grows older, and will not cause malignant changes, so there is no need to treat specifically.
However, there are also a small number of children with Mongolian spots that grow on more obvious parts such as the face or hands. In order to prevent them from feeling inferior, lasers, surgical treatment can also be performed. Be vigilant about these four birthmarks of
, as they may be fatal!
Although birthmarks are a common thing in newborns, some birthmarks will have an impact on the health of the fetus, especially these four types of birthmarks. If the mother finds these types of birthmarks on the baby, she needs to be vigilant.
1, black birthmark
Black birthmark is generally darker in color, part of which is birthmark accompanied by hair at birth, and some of which grow later. However, the probability of malignant change in black birthmark is relatively low. If expands in a short period of time, it may be malignant change in , and you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
2, cyan birthmark
cyan birthmark will appear around the eye socket, forehead, zygomatic , nose wing and other parts. Its incidence rate is about 10% , which is a disease of increased dermal melanin in that is consistent with the distribution of branches around the trigeminal nerve.
Since cyan birthmarks are often grown on human faces, they will inevitably have more or less impact on the child's future life. Therefore, it is recommended that the earlier the baby's cyan birthmarks, the better.
3, red birthmark
red birthmark very may be the skin hemangioma of newborns . Some parents believe that this red birthmark, like Mongolian spots, will disappear with age, but they do not know that this red birthmark is a hemangioma.
Hemangioma is a congenital benign tumor or vascular malformation. usually occurs on the baby's face, neck, trunk, etc. . Some hemangiomas are at risk of rupture and cause heavy bleeding. Some hemangiomas are also removed only if they grow too large, which can lead to facial deformity.
4, brown birthmark
If there is a brown birthmark on the body, the color is brown and the shades are different, and it is spread everywhere. This phenomenon is also called " coffee milk spot ". This kind of coffee milk spot is commonly found in patients with neurofibromatosis , and about 70% of patients have this characteristic .
If the child has 1 or 2 brown birthmarks on his body, there is no need to be too nervous. However, if the child has more than 6 brown birthmarks on his body, it may be a neurological disease . It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.
Although birthmarks for newborns are very common, parents should also know how to identify which birthmarks do not require treatment and which birthmarks will affect the life and health of their children.
Currently, the more advanced method of to treat birthmarks is laser treatment, and the earlier the birthmark treatment, the better . I hope parents don’t miss the best treatment opportunity. #Health Science Popularization Competition##Bao Zero Plan##39 Health Super Energy Group#
