Mine is really weird, is a patch of really rough, almost sandpapery skin on my right hip.
If you like at it, it looks like a patch of densely packed blackheads, but it's just weirdly pigmented like that.
It's about the size of a 1gallon milk jug cap.

I have what looks like a big mole in a location that's never touched the sun (about where my kidney is lol nothing rude) and what looks like a light stain above my right wrist which has always been there. Only i notice it

I have two. One comes and goes on my left inner arm, and one is always there right under my ink on my back. They look kind of like a faded freckle convention. I like them

I'm thankful I did not get the Hamlin family birthmark from my mother's side.

It really shows on the infants, but later in life is only visible when the bearer is extremely angry or otherwise red faced.
It's a very large V shape on the forehead.

My very pale complected, platium blonde niece has it, poor kid

I have one on the top of my head covered by my hair...I don't get to see it often, but each time I change hair stylists, I get the same response, "do you know that you have a large birthmark here on the top of your head?" And I always respond that I didn't know, and thanks for making me aware of it.
I guess if I ever go bald, I'm in real trouble.

He has had them since birth. And 3 yrs later they are in the same place and still dark. I don't think his are going anywhere.
Those aren't birthmarks...they are angel kisses!!


I'm a private nanny, and one of the little girls I keep sometimes has what seem to be the exact same thing that you are describing!! Except only on her neck and back, and one on her collarbone. One of the first times I kept her I was giving her a bath and they looked like burns to me. I asked her what they were and she said (and I'll never forget it) "thats where the angels kissed me before I came from heaven to be with my mom and dad". She said it very matter-of-factly, and I have never forgotten it! She was 6 at the time, and that was a couple of years ago. She isn't the least bit self-conscious about her "angel kisses"!

I just thought I would share!

I have one birthmark on my left knee. It's dark and kinda splodgey shaped...if that makes sense. I also have 2 more on my neck. They are like patches of darkened skin that makes it look like I don't wash my neck (I do HONEST!! lol) When I was a kid and my dad bathed me he would try to wash them off... it had to be explained to him they were birthmarks.

Exactly!!!

No birthmarks on me that I can tell...just lots & lots of freckles! (which is pretty unusual since I'm a latina)...

I have a birthmark on my knee...My Poppy always said my mother marked me as a baby because someone offered her peanuts when she was pregnant and she didn't eat it
It is shaped like a small peanut out of the shell...The Old Italians believe that you Mark the Baby if you don't at least taste everything you are offered while pregnant.

I have two. A very small one on my left calf, slightly below my knee. It's darker in colour than my normal skin colour so that's how I noticed it.

My other birthmark is huge. It goes from my right elbow up my arm and about half way across my back. When I was in school and wore a tank top people would always ask me if I was dirty. it doesn't cover the whole arm, looks kind of like a trail ha ha. I have always been very proud of my birthmarks.
