Mongolian spot: is a common type of birthmark of darkly pigmented skin, (brown, gray, or bluish in color). Mongolian spots are frequently seen above and around the crack of the buttocks. Most are prominent at birth but fade with age. Persistent Mongolian spot can be covered with skin tone make-up, or can be removed with cosmetic laser surgery. These birthmarks are harmless and can be a source of family pride.
