I've had it for years. Then I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I tried changing my diet to suit the diabetes - low carbs, whole wheats, leafy greens - and my IBS flared up so badly. It was bad before I started taking my metformin/glucofage but it got increasingly worse when I changed my diet for the diabetes.
Newborns are also coated with a thick, pasty, white material called vernix caseosa (made up of the fetus' shed skin cells and skin gland secretions), most of which will be washed off during the baby's first bath.
There are many types of birthmarks, and some are more common than others. Salmon patches (also called stork bites, angel kisses, or macular stains) are the most common type of birthmark. They are thin, flat, light pink or red areas of colored skin that occur most frequently on the back of the neck (stork bites) and on a baby's upper eyelids, upper lip, or between the eyebrows (angel kisses).
