So, I have had light grey-bluish birthmarks since birth, they are so light, that everyone thought maybe I touched something and that’s where the discoloration cane from. These birthmarks never created any type of problems for me, other than giving me positive attention because everyone complimented me.
Some birthmarks though appeared after puberty, I wasn’t prepared for that, and we went to lots of doctors and professors and geneticists to find out - why...
All of then said that it’s just a cosmetic issue, without any health related problems and these birthmarks didn’t appear just now, instead my birthmarks have always existed in me since birth, it’s just the sun exposure, tanning and puberty made it seen on the upper layers of the skin of my upper forehead.
And all of them told me it’s not hereditary, and instead is caused by the stress, the lack of enough nutrients during pregnancy of the mother.
I knew it’s not hereditary and my children will not have them, but I had to learn living with them myself and to be honest, it shook my confidence quite a lot. Because everyone in my family was pretty and it seemed like I was the only one picked on by nature, to constantly try and break me.
However, I guess I was always charismatic enough to have people overlook my birthmarks and still like me. With these exact birthmarks I still got myself the hottest fiancé I could ever imagine having. So, I guess I never let my birthmarks define me negatively.
But it was a big challenge at times. As a girl, you are almost expected to be perfect.
I wonder if you’d care about the birthmarks of your partner, if you know 100% for sure, it’s not hereditary.
I was asked out quite often though and I still am. So, I guess lots of people still like me. Which I feel happy for.
