Visual imperfections? Birth marks

[Teeki]

Oh that wouldn't be nice I would hope that people won't judge or say anything, and hopefully it doesn't get very big them goes away quickly.

I kind of get your worry, I have a birth mark too, but it's not a lump. It's just on the skin and it's brown. But it's on my butt. So I'm glad that it's not out for everyone to see, but at school I was conscious of getting changed in group change rooms, and then there was the issue of new guys who might eventually see me naked - didn't want them thinking it was poop!

I don't really have any advice, except that when she's older I wouldn't draw your DDs attention to it. Dress her how you like when it's hot, and those that matter will know what it is and won't care

DD3 has a birthmark on her inner thigh. Just a normal brown one that is growing with her, but when she was tiny it was right in the crease of her thigh & I honestly though it was a poo stain. I tried so hard to clean it off...

Lol Clover, my Nana gave me a bath when I was a baby and my Mum came in when I wouldn't stop crying. Turns out Nana had scrubbed my butt red raw trying get the "poo" off!

I would not worry about what other people think or say, although it's in an awkward spot. A friends daughter has quite a big one on her forehead that shrank and move into her hairline by 8 years old. My daughter has one or a cluster of them behind her ear. It started as dots also, I thought it was a heat rash at first as she was born in feb. I've only been told to worry about it if it bleeds or looks crusty, you could have it removed when she is older if it was still a major concern for you or her. I bet she is just beautiful so no-one will even notice.

I have a red birthmark on my face and no one has ever mentioned it to me. Not even at school. Chances ate she will be fine with it. However, if you keep mentioning it to her she will be more conscious of it.

Ds2 has a normal brown one on his calf and when he was little I always thought a bit of poo has come out his nappy! Now he's up and walking you can notice it even more but it clearly looks like a birth mark.

My second cousin had one like you are describing but it was in the middle of her forehead, she's now 5 and it is completely gone but they did have a lot of people ask about it
