Is it common to have two birthmarks?

It's not uncommon - I have a brown birthmark on one of my buttocks, and a reddish mark on the back of my neck. I also have about 50 small moles on my body, although having appeared later in life these are not really "birthmarks". My wife also has two birthmarks - a purple patch at the base of her spine, and a faint "cafe au lait" mark on the jawline. I have noticed that many other people have more than one birthmark, and most people have at least 10 moles on their bodies.

Why do we have birthmarks?

There are two main types of birthmarks, which have different causes: Vascular birthmarks happen when blood vessels don't form correctly. Either there are too many of them or they're wider than usual. Pigmented birthmarks are caused by an overgrowth of the cells that create pigment (color) in the skin.


Can a mole be a birth mark?

Yes. Strictly speaking, a "birthmark" is any mark or irregularity present on the skin at birth, although some may appear shortly after birth. A "mole" (ie a small - generally no larger than the flat end of a standard pencil - brown, black or blue mark, usually fairly regularly defined) present at birth is, therefore, a birthmark. Many moles do not, however, emerge, until later in life, and, therefore, are not really birthmarks. Generally speaking, and in the minds of most, the marks commonly regarded as birthmarks tend to be a bit larger than moles: some may be many inches long/ wide, and those that are vascular in origin are often quite irregularly defined, as are some types of pigmented marks. Birthmarks come in many colors - brown, black, blue, red, purple, even white, and some may be speckled (eg a relatively large light brown patch within which are numerous darker "freckles"), and some marks (notably "cafe au lait") can occur as multiples - two or more (sometimes as many as 5+) on different parts of the body. So, although moles ARE a form of nevi, and if present at birth may be called birthmarks, many are not formed until much later in life. Classic birthmarks are usually bigger than "moles", and are more variable in appearance.


What does scorpion shaped birthmark in the butt mean?

Birthmarks are a naturally occurring variations in the pigmentation of the skin. There is no meaning to the shapes they come in. There was a time, in the dark ages, when such things as birthmarks, moles and blemishes (something everyone has) of any kind were said to be a "Mark of the Devil", but more often than not this was something the Inquisitioners used as proof of the "guilt" of their intended victim.
