My first son, skin condition?

I'm just back from the hospital, Im so happy, my first son.





Everything is perfect, he's perfectly healthy, however I think that he might have a rare skin condition which causes hom to have darker almost black skin (both myself and my girlfriend are white).





My Girlfriend said it would have something to do with ther great, great grandmother being black.





Can anyone advise how to treat this condition? Has anyone heard of this condition before?

My first son, skin condition?
The "black" gene can skip generations and the vice versa, 2 black parents could have a white child if an ancestor happened to be white.





I'm half chinese/half english and had 2 children with a 3/4 white and 1/4 West Indian male (we both have mid tanned skin). My daughter resembles the west Indian look very much with the same colour skin as us parents, but different facial features, wheras my son is so white with blue eyes, although these are chinese slanted after me! Both mine and the kiddies father had grandmothers with blonde hair and blue eyes.





Genetics is complicated, but if in doubt leave it a few months, if you still feel unsure, go for DNA testing
Reply:The skin on a baby changes colour after it's born. I've seen bright red and dark-skinned babies that turn pale and stay that way quickly, usually over days or weeks. Wait a bit!
Reply:r u sure the babys not mixed get a blood test!
