Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Color of the baby depends on the genetical inheritance and exposure to sun.If it is a birth mark it will disappear on its own. Please consult your doctor for a physical examination. Diagnosis and further management will be based on the examination findings.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
