How do babies get birthmarks? Mothers all hope to give birth to a healthy and happy baby, but some babies will have birthmarks after they are born. Will babies with birthmarks have an impact on their health in the future? Let's introduce to you how birthmarks are formed.

How do baby birthmarks come about?

1. External environment: Environmental pollution is one of the main causes of birthmarks. When the human body is stimulated by the external polluted environment, it will show different manifestations, and birthmarks are one of them.

2. Living environment: mainly refers to the acquired environment. Due to certain bad problems in personal lifestyle, such as long-term irregular eating, irregular personal life and uncontrolled overeating, it is possible that certain conditions may stimulate the body and form birthmarks.

3. Genetic factors: Although this factor is generally considered to be the main factor causing birthmarks, there is no conclusive scientific evidence so far. Some biologists also believe that birthmarks are caused by chromosome mutations during human evolution, which are then reflected on human skin through inheritance.

4. Malnutrition: The human body lacks certain nutrients such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and other trace elements and phenylalanine, tyrosine, etc., which can easily affect the biochemical process of pigment synthesis, resulting in abnormal increase in pigment secretion by pigment cells, which is then transmitted to the epidermis through nerves and gradually spreads, forming birthmarks.

How are baby birthmarks formed?

Birthmark formation

When we explained birthmarks before, we already know that birthmarks are caused by skin lesions, which can cause the color of part of the skin to change. The reason for this situation is that the human serum contains a variety of trace elements. This type of trace elements includes zinc, iron, copper, etc. When these elements are lacking, the synthesis of human skin pigments will be hindered to a certain extent. When there are more pigment cells in the human body, the body will transfer these pigments to the skin, and birthmarks will slowly form.

However, in this case, birthmarks are formed more slowly, so the birthmarks on the baby's body will not be too large. There is a type of birthmark that can disappear after a few years, such as birthmarks on the back of the baby's neck and eyelids. This is due to the change in skin color caused by the expansion of the baby's own blood vessels. This birthmark will gradually disappear. Children will also have a birthmark that can disappear one month after birth. This birthmark is red in appearance and distributed in a dot-like shape. People call this type of birthmark a strawberry birthmark. Most babies with strawberry birthmarks will have their birthmarks disappear one year after birth. If the strawberry birthmark does not disappear, we recommend using laser to remove it, which is also a very convenient form.

Why do babies have birthmarks?

Why do babies have birthmarks? Birthmarks are medically called "mother spots" or "moles". They are abnormal proliferations of skin tissue during development, and abnormal shapes and colors appear on the skin surface. Birthmarks can be found at birth, or they may slowly emerge a few months after birth. Birthmarks can generally be divided into pigmented and vascular types. Common pigmented types include Ota's mother spots, congenital melanin mother spots, and cafe au lait spots, while vascular types include port-wine stains and strawberry hemangiomas. The incidence of birthmarks in newborns is about 10%, which can be said to be very common. Most birthmarks only affect the appearance and do not require special treatment. However, some birthmarks will be combined with physical abnormalities and may even have the possibility of malignant changes, and must be actively treated. For example, some sponge-like hemangiomas proliferate too quickly, which will cause limb defects, not only unsightly appearance, but also functional disorders. Even when the hemangioma expands too quickly, tissue necrosis will occur, excessive consumption of platelets will cause low coagulation function, and bleeding will not stop. Some hairy animal-like moles may develop into malignant melanoma in the future, and the cancer cells may metastasize and lead to death. Warm reminder: The above is a simple introduction to "Why do babies have birthmarks?" Once you have this disease, patients must not blindly treat it. You must find out the cause and then treat it symptomatically to avoid improper treatment, which may lead to worsening of the disease.
