There are many babies who have birthmarks when they are born. The most common one is blue spots, called Mongolian spots, and some people call them "green butts". This type of birthmark is a relatively healthy birthmark, which basically exists in Asian races. It is generally distributed on the waist and below the waist, and is not fixed in size or shape. However, as the baby grows older, these cyan birthmarks will gradually fade and will disappear completely in the end.
In addition to this type of "Mongolian spot" birthmark, there are actually three types of birthmarks. Parents need to pay more attention to it, because these types of birthmarks may have bad changes, which will endanger the baby's life safety in serious cases. Therefore, parents, parents, don't underestimate this small birthmark.
1, coffee spot
As the name suggests, it is a brown mark. The distribution of this spot has no fixed position, so it is possible at any position. And as you grow up, these spots may increase. After growing up, if the number of coffee spots on the child is too large or the diameter is too large, it is recommended that parents take their children to check in time, which may have certain risks, such as suffering from neurofibroma , anemia , etc.
2. Hemangioma
This is a vascular birthmark, and hemangioma is the most common one among vascular birthmarks. A small number of babies will have it at birth, and some will only start to show hemangioma within a few weeks after the child is born. There are many ways to form hemangiomas, shallow, deep, and mixed. The shallow layer will not have much impact on the baby. However, if it is distributed too widely and is distributed around the eyes, ears and nose, you need to go to the hospital. If not controlled, it may cause dyspnea in the baby. Normally, hemangiomas will disappear automatically (severe malignant hemangiomas are not included here).
3. pigmented nevus
pigmented nevus is more dangerous because it is very likely to develop into what we call melanoma . Many TV series also mentioned that melanoma is actually incurable. But don’t worry about parents who see this. The deterioration of pigmented nevi also depends on the situation. According to the diameter of pigmented nevi, it can be divided into small, medium, large, and giant pigmented nevi. What needs to be worried about is large and giant pigmented nevi. These two have a certain chance of malignant change. Once cancer occurs, there is a very high possibility that there will be no way to cure it. So it would be better to go to the hospital for consultation as soon as possible when this happens.
The above are several types of birthmarks that infants and young children will have, and the causes of birthmark formation are also different. Some are due to environmental factors, such as in pregnancy, in a polluted environment, or in food problems, and radiation reasons. The second may be because of the estrogen in the mother's body. Also, abnormalities occur during the baby's embryo development, which leads to vascular birthmarks. However, I believe that after reading the above types and introductions of birthmarks, parents do not need to worry too much about general healthy birthmarks. They will basically fade before the child becomes an adult. If the birthmarks with abnormal color and growing up are encountered, they need to take the baby to see a doctor in time.
