Birthmarks

by Kids Discover

Birthmarks are skin blemishes that appear on babies before birth. Pigmented marks, such as moles, are made of the skin’s own color cells, while vascular marks, such as port-wine stains, are made of blood vessels. Most aren’t dangerous or painful; they just make you unique!
