The reason why newborns have black birthmarks on their faces

We found that many newborns have black birthmarks on their faces. What is going on? A large black birthmark on a child's face will not cause harm to the child's health, but it has a very big impact on the child's appearance. It would be great if the black birthmark could be eliminated, but some black birthmarks will expand as the child grows older. This brings great pain to people, especially to children when they grow up. So why do children have such birthmarks? How can it be prevented?

How do black birthmarks form?

1. The reason for the formation of black birthmarks: due to the severe deficiency of trace elements such as zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium and phenylalanine and tyrosine in human serum. Patients with birthmarks should eat more foods such as soybeans, mushrooms, and whole grains, and less alcohol, mutton, beef, seafood and other foods. Frequent irritation of the affected area is also an important factor in the occurrence and development of black birthmarks. During the newborn care process, parents should promptly detect whether the baby has birthmarks.

2. Pathogenesis of black birthmarks: Black birthmarks are caused by subcutaneous melanocytes being blocked from developing from the dermis to the epidermis during embryonic development and precipitating in the dermis. Melanin is produced by melanocytes and is the main factor causing skin color changes. The production of eumelanin depends on the supply of tyrosine and oxygen, the activity of tyrosinase, and the number of melanosomes produced.

How to remove black birthmarks? In the past, commonly used treatments for black birthmarks include skin transplantation, skin grinding, chemical peeling, and liquid nitrogen cryotherapy. Although these methods have certain therapeutic effects, they cannot completely eradicate the disease and often cause serious complications such as scar formation.

Why do newborn babies have black birthmarks on their faces? Looking at the above introduction, we already know that the reason why the newborn has such a situation is closely related to the mother’s diet during pregnancy. Therefore, in order to reduce more pain for the child, expectant mothers must pay attention. During pregnancy, they must pay attention to the balance and nutrition of their diet, do not smoke or drink, and eat more fruits and vegetables, so that they can give birth to a cute baby.
