A. If it appeared recently then it might be deficiency and if it is since birth then it might be a birth mark so once click it’s picture and post along with your question to guide you better also till one year you must give calcium and iron supplement

A. good evening I don't think it is because of any deficiency in the body I would recommend that you should try to simply massage on the affected area with the help of fresh milk cream to get rid of the pigmentation
