How do we get birthmarks, and why?!


Question: How do we get birthmarks, and why?
I use to think we got them because it was the first part of us that came out at birth... But now I know that your head comes out first so thats my theory gone. :(

Answers:

Mine is on my tongue. It's shaped like a candy cane. It has completely deformed the pupilae on my tongue (On the birthmark).



Well, it is not quite clear as to why do people have birthmarks. However, a few of the reasons behind the same can be listed as follows:
Some birthmarks are because of the extra pigment that might be present in the skin.
Some birth marks can be because of blood vessels that are grouped together.
Some other kind of birthmarks can be because of certain blood vessels or veins which do not grow normally.

My middle daughter has a birthmark underneath her foot and it's from pressure from my ribs cos she really pushed and stayed against my ribs for what felt like months OUCH!
Some babies get marks aka stork bites which are pressure marks from the forceps that were used for their delivery but they're not permanent.
