What Could Be The Cause Of Black Lips In Infant After Birth?
My friend just posted a picture of her baby that was just born the other day. It had passed away after birth but the pictures she posted the baby had black lips. Completely black like it had colored in with a black marker. What could be the cause of that?

Hello
This may be congenital cyanosis heart disease.In this condition mixing of deoxygenated blood to the oxygenated o blood or improper oxygenation of blood due to poor supply to the lung cause black or bluish discoloration of lips and body.
Many of the cyanosis heart diseases are so severe that they can cause intrauterine death or death immediately after birth.
