He just saw a pediatric dermatologist who diagnosed him with dermal melanocytosis -- a.k.a., Mongolian spots on his tongue. He has Mongolian spots on his bottom too. This "birthmark" still makes me nervous however because it does not look like a birthmark -- it looks like a thick white milk residue on his tongue speckled with blue spots. It does not appear to bother him in anyway. Did you eventually receive a diagnosis for your child? Could you re-post a picture? I just want to make sure the docs are getting this right. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blue-spot-on-5wk-olds-tongue#post-72726 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:09:55 +0000 chopsuey 72726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: wow. would be so weird to have a mongolian spot on the tongue! but possible? lo has some on her arm, back and booty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blue-spot-on-5wk-olds-tongue#post-72724 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:07:04 +0000 miranlee 72724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I will call the pediatrician. Her tongue is white with milk, but the center has this blue-ish spot. I googled it and other people have asked about it too, but never got an answer to what it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blue-spot-on-5wk-olds-tongue#post-72718 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:56:27 +0000 banana 72718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it be a mongolian spot? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blue-spot-on-5wk-olds-tongue#post-72717 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:56:11 +0000 chopsuey 72717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hurm..
