I do and it's huge!It's just like a island map on my back and it's like white sand..My mom said it's much more better that you have birthday mark so if I'm gone or something will happen to me then they can figured out that it's me.I really don't mind having it and I feel unique!

I saw lots of people who has birthmarks. My Lola told me that birthmarks can't be prevented and they're not caused by anything done or not done during pregnancy. There's no truth to old wives tales about "stains" being caused by something the mother did or ate. The cause of birthmark is unknown. They can be inherited, but usually are not, and typically are unrelated to trauma to the skin during childbirth.

Hahaha my mom told me that she was thinking that it was from her old dog mark because we have the same mark also on the back!

You are lucky to have a birth mark at place where you can hide it with cloths. My niece has strawberry birthmark on right side of her face surrounding her ear.

I have almost the same as you described here on my waist. So, I am not comfortable wearing bikini, besides of being so fat and having sagging flesh.

I have a birth mark on the inner part of my left forearm. It's very pale and shaped like a fang. I wasn't really aware of it as I was growing up, I thought that I was birthmark-free. But when I hit college, I noticed that there's a portion of my arm that looks different from the rest, and there you go, my very first acquiantance with my birthmark. I actually kind of like it. And you're right, it does make me feel unique.

Just like you, I also have one on my back.. lower right. It's a little small island. Then at the back of my left leg, there's a brown mark. it's not that bad to look at though.

I have a birth mark. Mine is small though. Its the size of a penny, oval in shape, and flat on my left thigh.

I used to have a birthmark on my leg. However, I was able to have it removed when I was 14 years old.

I don't have any kind of birthmark myself. My son has a strawberry like one just above his hiney. And he also has one at the bottom of his hair line. My grandson has one in exactly the same spot!
