Where do birthmarks come from?
In: Biology
I do know that for one congenital condition, neurofibromatosis, it can be common to have a coffee colored birth mark on your body. It could be anywhere, any shape. Not in all cases, but if it runs in the family, like it does in mine, you can let the doctor know that you have the birthmark and that it runs in your family. I had some genetic testing done, as well as my daughter, and found we are both genetic carriers. My grandmother, her twin, my uncle and my aunt had it severely. I don’t know what, if any, other congenital conditions may be linked to birthmarks.
