Vascular Anomalies (Birth Marks)
Birth marks are blemishes that come up at birth or during first months of life as a result of abnormal placement of skin elements in the skin. Many birth marks are not hereditary, which means the same marks cannot be expected on the other members of the family. Even though there are many known genetic mutations that cause birth marks, the exact cause of its formation is not known and contrary to popular belief, it does not occur as a result of the mother's behaviour during pregnancy.
