When many people are born, they will have some large or small, deep or shallow birthmarks. So are these birthmarks related to health? Recently, American medical experts published articles on the website of “online medical doctor”, reminding readers that most birthmarks are painless and harmless, but some may be signs of disease.
1。 Orange red spots (or salmon red spots).
About 1 / 3 of newborns will have this kind of birthmark. It is a small, reddish patch that is usually laid flat on the skin. It mostly appears on the back neck, the middle of the eyes, the forehead and the eyelids. As children grow up, most will gradually disappear.
2。 Mongolian spot.
This kind of birthmark is flat and smooth. It is found at birth. It is common in the hip or waist. Most of them are light blue, or they may be blue gray or blue black. This kind of birthmark looks like a bruise, which is common in yellow people and usually disappears before school age.
3。 Strawberry like hemangioma (capillary hemangioma).
This kind of birthmark usually appears on the face, scalp, back or chest, mostly red or purple. Strawberry like hemangiomas usually form a few weeks after birth, and may not protrude out of the skin, or may be strawberry like soft masses slightly higher than the skin. Although it will not disappear, it has no effect on health.
4。 Cavernous hemangioma.
It’s like light blue sponge tissue filled with blood. It usually appears under the skin of the head or neck. If it grows deeper, the skin covered on it looks nothing different and disappears before puberty.
The above birthmarks do not need treatment, but the following birthmarks should be carefully treated:
5。 Dark red spots (wine spots).
At birth, this kind of erythema is peach red, but with the growth of age, its color will become darker and darker, becoming light purple. Most of them appear on the face and neck, and the area is relatively large. Dark red spots are caused by telangiectasia, and most of them will become larger and larger. If they grow on the eyelids, they will increase the risk of glaucoma. Treatment is needed.
