The causes of white birthmarks in infants at birth are as follows.
A white birthmark is a hypopigmented skin condition that appears to indicate a localised melanin deficiency, resulting in a white patch with limited lesions and clear boundaries. The formation of white birthmarks is related to many causes, such as parental genes, mood, diet, sleep and environment of the pregnant woman during pregnancy, congenital dysplasia of the fetus, lack of certain trace elements or vitamins in the baby’s body, etc. Patients are advised to visit a regular hospital and not to panic or treat themselves.
