It’s a pretty safe assumption that people have been born with birthmarks since humanity began, and between then and now we’ve come up with some wacky, even dangerous, explanations for them – even a few that survive still today.
# Birthmarks: The Spots That Mark Us for Life
Join Josh and Chuck as they dive deep into the fascinating world of birthmarks, exploring everything from adorable angel kisses and stork bites to more serious port wine stains and beyond. They break down the two main categories—vascular birthmarks caused by blood vessels and pigmented ones from melanin clusters—while discussing why some fade away naturally and others stick around for life. The episode also touches on the surprisingly superstitious history of birthmarks and why some people have faced unfair stigma throughout history, all while Josh and Chuck manage to go off on delightful tangents about sushi, coffee terminology, and skin tags.
