1.6 Pink and salmon colored spots and bluish black spots

You may find that your baby has some pink patches over the forehead, nape of the neck and over the eyelids. These are due to dilatations of blood vessels. These are quite normal and will disappear in time.
Bluish black spots are found over the back and sometimes over legs and other parts of body. These are known as Mongolian Spots (nothing to do with the Mongolian race). Why these occur is not known. This is not a cause of worry; the spots will certainly disappear after 1 to 2 years.
