I was just curious to know if it is possible to have a white birth mark in the first place. The doctors have always asked me what had happened on my back when they see the birth mark, strangest thing that I was born with it, but it zigs and zags. Just like a lighting bolt. It doesn't sink in, or stick out...about a two inches long. My brother has the mark as well, while the younger sister is missing hers. I'm of Native American line so I don't know if that's a connection. Spiritually I believe in visions, jounerys, and healing. But it could also be explained that we were prob leaning on the pelivic bone while in-utro. Anyone else born with this mark?

My son was born with a white mark on his inner leg though his father doesnt have the mark others in his family do and from what i understand they were born with it as well...the mark on his upper leg is white as snow looks like someone put their thumb in bleach and touch him with it......

i have one too, on my right arm. but i dont know anyone else in my family who has one, mine look like a bunch of islands. I havent found any islands that look like it yet..haha. And then a little bit above it like, 3 or 4 inches, i have a little bit more just small. You can see mine if i just got out of the shower or if i scratch my arm, or if my skin is red , it stays white. My mom said it was a scar,,,,but i dont think so cause I dont remember ever getting it. If any o fyou know what is it, please tell me

I have a white birth mark on my waist, it's the shape of a swan. I like it and have no desire to remove it. It's kinda cool. I'm french -canadian, there's native in there all over the place, so who knows if it's a native thing or not.

I suspect that if you went to your primary care doctor, they could make some suggestions for removal. One that comes to my mind would be a laser treatment like they would do for removal of a tatoo.

I was born with a white birth mark on my stomach about the size of an egg. I'm finnish I thought it had something to do with that because my cousins have them on their knees, my mother on her hands and my grandmother too.

When I was little I scratched my knees, and once the scabs went away I got white spots there too.

I also have moles that are surrounded by the same white and my egg sized spot had a mole in it too when I was little

I have a tiny bit of native american in me too. . . but I want to say it's a finnish thing because of the rest of my family that isn't at all native american.

My white spot is round and on my arm about the size of a dime, with white hair.

No native american in my blood line.

per a doctor it is a non-pigment of the skin, and its nothing to worry about.

I have red hair and freckle,and it was pink after the sun got to it
