asian hulk bumitis

Now if you're Chinese or Filipino you've probably heard of this phenomenon but to us "big noses" the fact that our babies' bums could end up blue green is a bit of a surprise.

"Does Hugh have a green bum?" asked Robert.

"What do you mean green bum?" We asked.

Apparently this greenish birth mark is seen in up to 90% of SE Asian children.

Usually they are described as blue / blue grey and mistaken for bruises by some Doctors.

Since Robert Long is Irish bums are considered green in the Long household and I'm sure will get trotted out on St Paddy's day.

Hugh has a spot free bum at the moment hence no photo , we'll let you know if there are any developments in this area....
