When children are born, they are pink and tender, especially when they grow up behind them, their faces will no longer be wrinkled and will become very cute.
But many careful parents find out why their children are naked, with only a piece of bruise on their butts? Did someone beat their own children when they were not paying attention?
It is said that children are born, but the spots on their butts are not fallen when they fall on the ground, and they have nothing to do with being beaten. In fact, this bruise is a type of birthmark, also called Mongolian spots, and it is found on the butts of many children.
1, how do Mongolian spots form?
This scar is called Mongolian spots because it is more common in yellow people, so it is called Mongolian spots. The formation of this birthmark is caused by the precipitation of pigments. In most cases, it grows on the waist or buttocks of the newborn. The carrier rate of yellow people is as high as 80%.
Most Mongolian spots are round or oval, and are mostly cyan, which is very similar to bruises after being beaten. In general, the area of Mongolian spots is larger, lighter than that of ordinary birthmarks. Will
2 disappear?
In fact, most birthmarks will fade or disappear with the age of the child. The same is true for Mongolian spots. Most Mongolian spots will not be visible when the child is 6 to 8 years old.
3, will it harm the child's body?
We said that the carriage rate of yellow people is very high. In fact, you can often see Mongolian spots on the buttocks of children in the community around us, and there are no abnormalities in everyone's bodies, which shows that most Mongolian spots are benign.
These birthmarks basically will not affect our bodies, especially birthmarks like Mongolian spots that can automatically dissipate and grow in a more hidden place.
4, do we need to take some measures when facing birthmarks?
We usually don’t need to take any measures like Mongolian spots that can be automatically eliminated when children are very young. However, if you find that the birthmark on the child's body or face has become bigger, the color is darker, or it is prominent, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
So now, everyone can understand it, right? Mongolian spots are a birthmark that often appears and has a milder nature. If a child has Mongolian spots, parents do not need to worry too much, nor do they have to take any measures themselves.
But birthmarks will appear on children, and it may not only be the Mongolian spots, but also some birthmarks of other colors. Our most common birthmark colors are black and red. The former is caused by pigmentation, while the latter may be caused by some diseases, such as hemangioma or maculopapular .
Of course, there are also some brown or orange birthmarks, which are also caused by different reasons.
So what exactly causes these birthmarks to appear on the child?
(1) Injury during fetal period
It is said that the child's skin is very delicate, which is even more delicate than the child's skin. It is the fetal skin. When the child is very young, the skin color seems to be transparent even, and it is covered with capillaries. If the injury occurs, there is a high possibility of blood stasis and pigmentation deposits, and then the birthmark we know is formed.
(2) The mother is contaminated
Another situation is that if the mother comes into contact with some pollutants when she is pregnant, such as rays, biological bacteria, chemicals, etc., these may cause the child to form a birthmark. Especially for mothers, spraying perfume or using cosmetics when pregnant will increase the possibility of birthmarks on their children.
(3) Genetic
doesn’t need to say much, right? If parents or children's grandparents have birthmarks, that is, they carry this gene, the child is likely to have birthmarks.
