How or why do people get birth marks??


Answers: There is no reason as to why some people get them.
The medical term for them is hemangioma. They occur when a group of blood vessels group together on one place near the skin. This is now thought to be a genetic trait. In history they were thought to mean very different things, from high intellegence to being special.
It was originally a sign of being extremely intelligent.
It's just genetic instances of hypermelanastic activity....there's really no rhyme or reason to their appearance (or lack there-of), save for whether or not a person's parents are predisposed to 'em...
Dunno,but I have a heart-shaped one on my shin
