Xiaoqin (pseudonym) is 4 years old this year and has already entered kindergarten. She is one of the best in the class, but she is relatively withdrawn in character. She often stays alone at home and is taciturn.
Mom saw it in her eyes, but she felt in her heart, but she was powerless. The culprit of everything is because of the bright red birthmark on the face.
should have been a lively and cheerful age, but Xiaoqin was still not happy because the birthmark on her face was too scary, and many children were unwilling to play with her and even mocked her for being not good-looking. Everyone's strange eyes on her made Xiaoqin more inferior.
Xiaoqin always asks her mother: "Mom, why do other children have birthmarks on their faces? I have it?"
Every time my mother hears this question, she feels uncomfortable. The old man at home said that he must have been not paying attention when he was pregnant and squeezed the baby into his stomach, causing his daughter to have a birthmark. After knowing this reason, my mother felt even more blaming herself.
Is the birthmark really formed as the elderly at home said, because it is squeezed during pregnancy?
of course not! Squeezing the fetus during pregnancy has nothing to do with birthmarks.
The formation of birthmarks is actually caused by abnormal skin pigmentation or abnormal skin blood vessels. Many newborn babies may have birthmarks, most of which can disappear over time, but a few birthmarks may pose a threat to the baby's health, and parents still need to pay attention.
Birthmark We simply classify it according to the color as follows
Red Birthmark: Wine spots, hemangiomas, stork kiss marks
Brown Birthmark: Milk coffee spots
Cyan Birthmark: Mongolian spots
Black Birthmark: Pigmented moles
Above Most birthmarks have no effect on the human body, but if these four abnormalities occur, parents should pay attention to
1. Milk Coffee spots Area expanded
Baby has 6 or more coffee spots on the body, and the diameter is greater than 15 mm
This situation occurs, parents need to take their baby to the hospital for detailed examination to see if there is a neurofibroma.
2. The color of wine spots becomes darker
Early wine spots are pink, which are common on the face. They will become darker with time, which seriously affects the appearance of children. Parents can detect them early and undergo laser treatment as soon as possible.
3. Pigmented nevus becomes bigger
Generally, there is no need to worry about small pigmented nevus congenital. If the diameter exceeds 20cm, there is a possibility of cancer. Although the probability of occurrence is relatively small, it is recommended to seek medical examination as soon as possible.
4. The coverage area of hemangioma increases
Hemangioma will grow rapidly within 6-9 months of birth, and will begin to grow smaller and recede at the age of 2-3. If a baby with severe hemangioma is evaluated by the doctor, it is best to treat it within 3 months of birth, the earlier the better.
What should parents do if they find that their baby has a birthmark?
1. Check which birthmark it is in time and observe it more in the future.
2. If the birthmark is on the baby's face, parents can provide relevant treatment in the hospital in time to avoid affecting the baby's appearance and forming a mentality of inferiority.
