We all know that the appearance of the baby depends on the parents, but there is actually an uncertain factor - birthmark. Especially those birthmarks that grow on the face directly affect the child's appearance.
There is a little boy named Qiqi in the community, who has a birthmark on his face. In the first six months of moving in, the children in the community almost did not dare to play with him. I remember the first time I met Yumi, Qi Qi was going to pull Yumi's hand, who knew that Yumi was scared and cried. I thought that the little guy would be more introverted, but unexpectedly Qi Qi's personality was very warm.
Yumi once asked him, "Brother, why do you have a red patch on your face?" The little guy replied proudly: "Mother said that the angel was reluctant to let me come to my mother, and kissed me before letting go, and there was this mark." "I have to admit that the little guy's answer poked me in the face.
Although the little guy is confident and sunny, as a mother, she will still feel a little sorry for Yumi's original refusal. Sometimes I also think that such a cute child would have made more friends if he did not have a birthmark on his face, right?
Qi Qi's parents are very good looking, especially Qi Qi's mother melon face, big eyes, very beautiful. She said: The doctor suggested that when Qiqi is older, it is best to remove the birthmark, and when she thinks that such a big child is going to go for surgery, she feels very sorry for the child.
Parents in the world, even if the child does not complain in the slightest, he will also deeply blame himself for the difference of the child.
How exactly is a child's birthmark formed? Are there any measures that can reduce the probability of a child's birthmark? Today we will talk about this issue.
How are baby birthmarks formed?
Through observation, it was found that the birthmark behaves very differently in each child. In general, 80% of children are born with more or less birthmarks, but some babies are immediately visible at birth, and others appear a few months later. The good news is that most children's birthmarks fade or even disappear within 1-2 years of age, and only a few children's birthmarks last a lifetime.
In fact, the medical community is inconclusive about the origin of birthmarks, but it is generally believed that there are two sources of birthmarks:
The first is caused by a large amount of pigment deposition;
The second is the formation of vascular aggregation or vascular malformation.
For example, most babies will have some light cyan or gray-cyan birthmarks on their backs or hips of different sizes and shapes. This birthmark is formed due to the special pigmentation of the cells in the dermis, of course, as the child grows, this part of the pigment will be slowly absorbed, and the birthmark will gradually fade or even absorb itself.
For example, hemangiomas common in infants and young children are caused by telangiangi hyperplasia and dilation and vascular malformations, which are the most common benign vascular tumors in infants and young children. Its incidence is as high as 4 to 5% in infants and young children, and this value is increasing year by year.
What do a typical birthmark look like?
There are many types of birthmarks, and the shape, size, and color between different types are also very different, and in general, birthmarks are generally divided into the following categories:
Red birthmarks: This type of birthmark is generally formed by vascular problems, generally longer than the face, back, chest, will not disappear, but does not affect health;
Cyan birthmark: Mongolian spot, which is a very common type of birthmark. Most grow on the baby's buttocks, are caused by melanin, and gradually disappear as the child ages.
Brown birthmark: Coffee spots, which are permanent birthmarks that are flush with the surface of the skin and can appear anywhere on the body.
Black birthmark: pigmented nevus, relatively small area, some rough surface combined with hair growth. It will appear in the infant stage, the growth rate is very slow, but it cannot subside, it may affect health, parents should pay more attention.
Overall, most birthmarks disappear on their own and will not affect your baby's health, but there are exceptions to everything. Birthmarks not only affect the child's appearance, in fact, some birthmarks may also change. So if the baby has a birthmark, parents must pay enough attention.
For example, hemangiomas will grow with age, although most of the hemangiomas are benign tumors, but a small part is not so dissipated, if the growth in a short period of time is obvious, parents must pay attention to it, and lead their children to seek medical treatment in time.
Expectant mothers should avoid 3 behaviors that are prone to birthmarks
In addition to the birthmark caused by genetic factors can not be avoided, some of the wrong behaviors of expectant mothers during pregnancy are also easy to cause birthmarks, and the following 3 behaviors are recommended for expectant mothers to avoid.
Behavior 1: Take precautions to avoid hitting your stomach.
If a collision occurs during pregnancy,If the collision happens to occur at the capillaries of the fetus, it will cause the fetal capillaries to rupture and appear bruised, and the congestion will develop into a birthmark after a long time. After the collision, the probability of a baby having a long birthmark increases by 23.5%. Therefore, expectant mothers during pregnancy must do a good job of protection and go to places with high traffic to avoid bumps.
Behavior two: Try not to eat out-of-season vegetables to prevent hormonal disorders.
Some pregnant mothers love to eat some out-of-season vegetables and fruits, but they do not know that some anti-seasonal vegetables are likely to contain a lot of hormones. Pregnant women eat foods with hormones for a long time, which can easily cause disorders in hormone levels in the body, destroy the pigment synthesis of the baby, and thus form birthmarks on the child.
It is recommended that pregnant mothers eat more seasonal vegetables during pregnancy, eat less irritating foods, and of course pay attention to supplementing nutrition, especially the supplement of trace elements such as calcium, zinc and copper. The absence of some trace elements can also affect the pigment synthesis of children.
Behavior 3: Stay away from radiation and cosmetics during pregnancy to prevent chemical contamination
There are also some pregnant mothers who love beauty, and they do not forget to dress themselves up beautifully during pregnancy, make up and perm their heads. But you know what? Some unscrupulous merchants add chemical ingredients to their perms and cosmetics.
For example, some perms can smell a very unpleasant pungent smell as soon as they are turned on, which is the smell emitted by chemicals, which will directly affect the normal development of the baby and stimulate the baby's skin to appear abnormal. For example, some makeup products will contain heavy metal components, which will increase the possibility of long birthmarks for a long time.
To this end, we recommend that pregnant mothers use cosmetics and hair dyes as little as possible, and must choose those products for pregnant women if they have to use them. After all, no one wants to let the baby live in inferiority because of their own negligence. Even for the sake of the child's appearance, expectant mothers should try to avoid the above behaviors
