Fa Xiao gave birth to a son, and when she went to her house that day, it happened that her mother-in-law was bathing the baby, and after undressing the baby, the little mother-in-law mysteriously pointed to the faint cyan birthmark on the baby's small PP, and said with a smile: "Look, this is a sign that Wenqu Xing is descending to earth, and our grandson will be a scholar in the future." ”
Fa Xiao, who was helping on the side, heard her mother-in-law's words, and a happy smile appeared on her face, as if she had seen her son wearing a doctor's hat and holding an award certificate in the future.
"Auntie, this is just a legend about birthmarks, our daughter was born with a red birthmark on her finger, the doctor said it was a hemangioma, and the local hospital suggested that we go to Guangzhou to find a professional doctor for treatment.
Soon, we took it to Guangzhou, and the doctor told us that fortunately we went in time, and the hemangioma in the child's hand would grow as the child grew and developed.
Later, we actively cooperated with the doctor's treatment and treated the child's hemangioma. "Out of cognitive and professional habits, I can't help but tell Fa Xiao and her mother-in-law about our daughter's experience.
Because my daughter had such an experience, before conceiving her second child, I consulted a lot of information on the Internet and in large libraries about whether birthmarks are harmful to children and how to prevent birthmarks.
How do birthmarks come about, and are birthmarks harmful to children?
A birthmark is a mark that is different from other skin marks that a child has at birth, and is formed in the mother's body. Birthmarks rarely attract the attention of parents, and most parents believe that birthmarks are harmless and do not pose a threat to the health of their children.
In fact, some birthmarks do not harm the health of the child, and the birthmark will gradually disappear as the child grows.
But not all birthmarks are harmless to health, and some may delay treatment if left untreated. Just like our daughter's hemangioma, it is a relatively common congenital benign tumor.
It is often accompanied by birthmarks on the surface of the skin, which are mainly red, lavender or dark blue under the skin, mostly on the face, neck and limbs, and the birthmark is slightly protruding on the surface of the skin. Our daughter has an index finger and is red.
Pigmented nevi is also a relatively common birthmark, its color is mostly black, tile blue, light blue or gray-black, some pigmented nevi will also have hair, appearing on the face is more common, very eye-catching.
Once you find that your baby has a birthmark, you should first consult a doctor, and pay more attention to the baby's age, and cooperate with the doctor for early treatment in time.
Of course, there is no need to be overly nervous about all birthmarks, as some are harmless. Even if the birthmark seriously affects the child's aesthetics, we should not treat the birthmark too early, as doing so is likely to leave a treatment scar. Of course, the best thing to do is to find a professional doctor to help your child.
Annoying birthmarks
I remember there was a girl in our class who was white and had beautiful features, but unfortunately there was a unique birthmark on her face, which, although unique, made her stand out from the crowd. This birthmark, like a heavy cross, has made her bear strange eyes and whispers since she was a child.
As a result, she becomes sensitive and has low self-esteem, always habitually lowering her head to avoid those gazes that may fall on her face.
At school, she silently hid in the corner. She is afraid of communicating, of being in the limelight, of looking at people who seem concerned but are curious and inquisitive. Worried that her classmates would judge her.
She had tried to cover the birthmark with makeup, hoping to blend in with everyone. Every time she looked in the mirror, she would unconsciously cover her face with her hands, as if this would hide the pain and uneasiness in her heart.
The girl's mother saw that the child was so unhappy and unconfident, and the mother was very distressed and blamed herself.
What behaviors of pregnant mothers are easy to make the fetus grow birthmarks, and how to avoid them as much as possible?
Have you noticed some mysterious birthmarks on your little one's body, and wonder where these birthmarks come from?
In fact, some of the daily behaviors of expectant parents may invisibly "customize" a unique birthmark for the baby! Next, let's take a look at which behaviors are easy to make the fetus grow a birthmark, and how to avoid it as much as possible!
1. Irregular diet
Do expectant mothers know that irregular diet is a major "culprit" that leads to fetal birthmarks! Irregular diet during pregnancy will not only affect the baby's nutrient absorption, but may also cause abnormal fetal skin development due to the lack or excess of certain nutrients, thus forming birthmarks. Therefore, expectant mothers must remember to eat on time and match nutrition reasonably!
2. Lack of sleep
Fathers-to-be should also pay attention! Lack of sleep during pregnancy will not only make expectant mothers mentally tired, but also may affect the normal development of the fetus. Studies have shown that lack of sleep can lead to hormone secretion disorders in pregnant women's bodies, which in turn affects the normal metabolism and pigmentation of fetal skin, increasing the risk of fetal birthmarks.
3. Lack of exercise
Exercise is very important for the health of both the mother and the baby. Proper exercise can promote the metabolism of pregnant women, accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body, and contribute to the healthy development of the fetus.
Lack of exercise may lead to the accumulation of toxins in the pregnant woman's body, affecting the health of the baby's skin and increasing the risk of long birthmarks. Therefore, expectant mothers should move together, walking, yoga for pregnant women, swimming, etc. are all good choices!
Of course, the above are only some of the factors that may cause a fetal birthmark, and they are not absolute. Although most birthmarks will not affect the child's health, if the birthmark grows in an obvious part, it will still affect the child's appearance, especially the birthmark on the face, and the expectant mother should still pay attention to it!
