| | Mongolian spot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mongolian Spot(s) is most common among Mongols and other Asian ethnic groups: (Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, Indonesians, Turkmenistanis, Turks, Usbekistanis, etc.) as well and also Amerindians, occurring to some degree in approximately 100% of Mongolian infants, 95-100% of East Asian infants, 40-50% of Hispanic infants, and very few Caucasian and other infants. | | | Mongolian spot(s) is a congenital developmental condition exclusively involving the skin. | | | The condition is not linked to sex, and both male and female infants are equally predisposed to Mongolian Spot(s). |

| | This is a harmless condition, which can be confirmed by showing the spots to your physician. | | | A bruise from injury would change rapidly over a period of days, and would usually have a very sharp border and extend into the most superficial layer of the skin, distinguishing it from a Mongolian spot. | | | A Mongolian spot, however, derives its color from melanin pigment in the dermis and is pale because it lies deep in the skin layers. |

| | A birthmark is loosely defined as any spot, stain, swelling or other mark obvious at or within two weeks of birth on a baby's skin. | | | While the vast majority are harmless, occasionally the presence of many birthmarks, possibly along with other symptoms, may point to underlying disease. | | | The vast majority of these blemishes are small and inconspicuous, but a minority need treatment because they're disfiguring or endanger health. |

| | Accordingly, from the 16th century, there have been few or no Jews in Spain and Portugal, but their genes, their hereditary characteristics, have continued to be transmitted, so that the Mongolian/Semitic Spot or Stain is found, fairly often in the babies of Portuguese and to a lesser degree in the Spanish. | | | It is also common in Asia: among Iranians, Turks, Arabs and Sephardi Jews --and also Spain and Portugal, where Sephardi Jews had been compelled by the Church to give up their identity and become Roman Catholics. | | | Very often infants are born with a dark blue stain, a birthmark, low down on the back or legs which gradually fades and disappears over the course of about a year.He called the stain "Mongolische Flecken"-- Mongolian Spots. |
