Patient's question:
The baby's back and buttocks are dark like birthmarks, and there are also on the back of the hand. Will this affect the baby? What is the cause? The baby is now almost six months old and it hasn't disappeared yet. Will it disappear in the future?Doctor's answer:
A 6-month-old baby has dark spots on their buttocks, similar to birthmarks. It is considered possible that it could be Mongolian spots, which usually fade gradually on their own between the ages of 3-5 and do not require special treatment. For a definitive diagnosis, it is best to have a face-to-face examination.Birthmarks are congenital skin conditions that are present at birth or may appear again later. They may be related to genetic factors and generally have no significant impact on health.
