Birthmarks are a common phenomenon during and after birth. They differ in sizes with some people having tiny ones and others having some big ones. Some types of birthmarks are inherited while others just happen by chance. Given these diversities, it is usual for those bearing them to wonder what does my birthmark mean. If you are one of them, you will get the answers in this post. In it we discuss if there is more to these marks than the normal scientific explanations we get about their occurrence. Read on to learn more about birthmark meanings, shapes, location on body and spiritual meanings.

What Do Birthmarks Mean

From a medical perspective, birthmarks develop due to the formation of some skin pigment that does not make it to the surface of the skin but gets lodged in the deeper layers. Another group of birthmarks is formed as a result of faulty blood vessels under the skin.

While this is how modern knowledge portrays birthmarks, traditional knowledge about them has always been passed from one generation to the next. According to various superstitious beliefs, they can be a sign of good luck, bad omen or a mark of the devil. Here are some of these that cut across most cultures.

There are three main subdivisions as to how birthmarks meanings are derived:

  • They could be an omen that determines a person’s traits or characteristics.
  • They could occur as a result of an action taken by the mother or something that happened to her while she was carrying the baby.
  • The last source of meaning is an event in a person’s past-life.
