Birthmarks, irregularities in a baby's skin that are present at birth, are usually vascular or pigmented, according to MedlinePlus. Vascular birthmarks form as the result of blood vessels that develop incorrectly. Pigmented birthmarks are clusters of colored pigment cells, which can vary from tan to black. The medical community is unsure why some birthmarks form, but heredity sometimes plays a part.
