Birthmarks are one of those little mysteries that many babies are born with. Some are tiny and faint, while others are more noticeable and change over time. In this episode, we explore why birthmarks happen, the different types you might see, and what they can tell you about how your baby's skin develops. From pigmented spots to vascular marks like hemangiomas and port-wine stains, you'll learn what causes them, why some fade and others don't, and when it's worth mentioning them to your pediatrician.
