Baby has two kinds of birthmarks, which is actually a disease. Every parent wants their children to grow up healthily. It is common for babies to have birthmarks, but some birthmarks are not a good sign. Next, I'll show you that both birthmarks are actually diseases.
The baby has two kinds of birthmarks, which are actually 1. First of all, the red birthmark.
If you have a red birthmark, you should first be alert to whether it is an hemangioma. Hemangiomas are more common at birth or shortly after birth, and often occur in the face and neck, but actually occur in the limbs. It is because of the small-scale dislocation of the control gene fragments during embryonic development that the tissue differentiation of a certain part of the human body is abnormal, thus developing into hemangioma.
Second, the black birthmark
Generally speaking, black birthmarks are not dangerous except for affecting the appearance. However, some black birthmarks may get worse. If they expand rapidly, you should take your baby to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best diagnosis period.
How to distinguish hemangioma from normal birthmark?
1, when the baby is born, the family should carefully check whether there is a red birthmark on the body surface, especially the hidden parts, such as the child's armpit.
2, press the ordinary birthmark, will not fade; If it is hemangioma, it will fade quickly when pressed, and the color will recover after being released. Some hemangioma will shrink when pressed, and will recover after being released.
3, hemangioma will expand rapidly within half a year after birth, and mother can do continuous observation.
What harm does hemangioma have to the baby?
If hemangioma grows on the face, especially on the eyelid, auricle, nose and other parts, it will not only affect the appearance, but also destroy the tissue function, and the threat can not be ignored; There are also some fast-growing hemangioma, which can also cause dysfunction, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
For infantile hemangioma, early detection and early treatment is the key to avoid the rapid growth of tumor and harm to the child's body.
The baby's two kinds of birthmarks are actually diseases. Mommy should pay special attention to four dangerous birthmarks.
1. If there are large wine stains near the baby's eyes and cheeks, it may cause vision problems such as glaucoma and even nervous system diseases such as convulsions and hemiplegia.
2. Larger hemangioma grows in different positions, which may hinder the baby from eating and affect vision or breathing. If hemangioma grows on the baby, it may also threaten the health of some organs of the baby. Therefore, for larger hemangioma, we should always pay attention to its development and change, and ask the doctor to deal with it in time if necessary.
Tip: the fontanel of the newborn baby has not completely healed, so it is best to put a hat on the baby when going out.
3. The birthmark located in the lower part of the baby's spine may extend to the skin, thus affecting the baby's nerves and blood flow, which requires mommy's special attention.
4. When the baby has a lot of coffee and milk spots (generally more than 6), it suggests that there may be a rare hereditary disease-neurofibroma. Neurofibroma is a genetic disorder, and plaques usually appear at birth or within two years. As the baby grows older, the number of plaques may also increase. About 50% babies with neurofibroma will have learning disabilities. When there are more than 6 spots on the baby's coffee and milk, or the number increases, it is necessary to communicate with the doctor in time.
Tip: Newborn babies have delicate skin, so be sure to choose baby-specific toiletries.
Expose a birthmark
Birthmarks are mainly divided into two categories, one is abnormal pigment cells on the baby's skin, and the other is abnormal blood vessels.
These birthmarks are either present when the baby is born, or appear shortly after the baby is born, which is easy to attract the attention of mommy. Fortunately, most birthmarks are harmless to babies. As babies grow up, birthmarks will gradually disappear. For those birthmarks that will not fade but affect the baby's beauty, they can be removed by laser or surgery if necessary. Of course, there are also a few birthmarks with extremely dangerous signals, which will seriously endanger the baby's health and need mommy to deal with them as soon as possible.
Tip: In addition to paying attention to birthmarks, we should also pay attention to whether the baby's nutrition keeps up.
What kinds of birthmarks are there? What just affects the appearance? What are the hidden dangers?
First of all, the dark brown birthmark
Ota nevus
Ota nevus is mostly blue, brown, black or mixed color, which is the expression of increased melanin in baby's dermis. It mostly occurs on the baby's face, mostly unilateral and occasionally bilateral. A few babies will have more nevus of OTA. Once it happens, it will last for life. Although it will not be malignant, it will seriously affect the baby's beauty.
Congenital pigmented nevus
Pigmented nevus usually occurs in the baby's face and neck, mostly small punctate nevus, rarely patchy. Congenital pigmented nevus is mostly benign, but about 10% tends to be malignant, and some of them may be complicated with vascular nevus, lipoma or neurofibroma. Therefore, if the baby's congenital pigmented nevus is large or located in the baby's genital area, Mommy should consult a doctor for treatment. Like Ota's nevus, pigmented nevus rarely disappears naturally once it exists, which will have a certain impact on the baby's beauty.
Tip: Put on comfortable and lovely jumpsuits for your baby, which is not only beautiful, but also convenient for your mother to take care of your baby.
Hairy moles have been around since the baby was born. They come in different sizes. The big one can invade the whole back, neck or limbs of the baby, and the small one is mostly between 0.6 and 2 cm in diameter. The color of moles is mostly dark black with black coarse hair. Hairy nevus generally grows with the baby and has a certain tendency to malignant transformation. If necessary, mommy can take the baby to the hospital regularly for examination.
Coffee milk spot
Mommy can also guess what this birthmark looks like from the name! Coffee milk spot is light brown, quite like a mixture of coffee and milk, hence the name. This birthmark is mostly oval and appears on the baby's trunk, buttocks and legs. It will gradually get bigger and darker with the baby's age, but it will generally not affect the baby's health.
Tip: Touching your baby more is more conducive to the development of your baby's limbs and emotional comfort.
Second, the red birthmark.
Neonatal staining
About 65,438+0/3 babies will be born with neonatal nevus, which is a small red plaque, usually spread flat on the baby's skin. It appears on the baby's back neck, between his eyes, forehead and eyelids. These plaques are actually local telangiectasia, which is formed when the baby is stimulated by hormones in the mother's womb. As the baby grows up, most of the newborn moles will gradually disappear.
Tip: Pay special attention to the care of the baby's neck, and it is easy to hide evil people at the folds.
Wine stain is also called wine stain. Wine stains are caused by abnormal development of some blood vessels in infant embryo. This kind of stain mostly occurs on the baby's face and neck, with a large area. When the baby is born, this kind of stain is mostly pink, but with the growth of the baby's age, the color will get darker and darker, and finally it will become lavender, just like the color of wine, hence the name. Because many wine stains will not fade by themselves, it will seriously affect the baby's beauty. Mommy can consult a doctor for a solution if necessary.
Third, red hemangioma.
Strawberry capillary hemangioma
Strawberry capillary hemangioma is also called capillary hemangioma and simple hemangioma. Among many birthmarks of babies, strawberry capillary hemangioma is more common. This kind of hemangioma mostly occurs in 4 ~ 6 weeks after the baby is born. At first, the baby's skin will turn pale, and then it will soon become a crimson protruding plaque, which is quite like a strawberry, hence the name. Strawberry capillary hemangioma often appears on the baby's face, scalp, back or chest. 75% ~ 95% of babies can completely or incompletely subside when they are 5 ~ 7 years old. Mommy doesn't have to deal with it in a hurry, but if it grows around the baby's eyes, mouth or other parts that are prone to bleeding and infection, it is necessary to deal with it accordingly.
Tip: If you want to take corresponding treatment, you should pay more attention to your baby's facial care, and the paper towels and towels used must be gentle.
In addition to the skin, cavernous hemangioma can involve all parts of the body, such as bones, liver, muscles and intestines. Because it is a benign disease, the baby generally has no conscious symptoms. Only when it continues to increase and affect or oppress important organs will the baby feel uncomfortable. This hemangioma will subside before the baby's puberty. However, when they grow in dangerous parts that affect the health of babies, such as near the trachea, they usually need to be surgically removed.
Tip: One thing that a baby can't lack at birth is a quilt, which is convenient for the mother to take care of the baby and can also bring a sense of security to the baby.
Fourth, the blue birthmark
mongolian spot
Mongolian spots mostly appear in Mongolian race, that is, yellow race, hence the name. The most common birthmark in China is Mongolian spot. Mongolian spots are pigments deposited on the baby's skin surface, mostly light blue, or blue-gray, blue-black. Babies exist from birth. Mostly oval, it is common in the baby's sacrum and buttocks, but it can also be seen in the back, chest and abdomen, upper and lower limbs and head and neck. The patches vary in size, from mung beans to disks, and the boundaries are not obvious.
Usually, male babies have bigger spots than female babies. Mongolian spots generally fade before the baby enters school, leaving no trace, so no special treatment is needed.
