Baby With Dark Patch of Hair
Posted: 09-07-07 10:33am

My 3 month old son has blond hair except for a small patch of dark hair on top of his head. At first I thought it was a bruise but it's been there at least 2 months now. I've pulled back the hair to look at the scalp and the scalp is the same color as the rest so I know it's just the hair.

I'm not really worried about it, just more curious. I'd like to know if it has a name and what causes it. I've read about people having white hair or lighter hair amidst dark hair but never dark hair amidst light. Anyone??

my best friend's son has, what sounds like, the same thing. (now 4 years old and always had exeptional health)

dont worry! in his case it was just a form of "birthmark". it might be the same thing.

hope this helps!
