What’s his race ?? I’m pretty sure my son had something like this but he eventually just grew out of it and his skin tone evened out

I think it’s probably pretty normal in babies with more melanin my son is mixed black and white and I remember seeing it in his arms and stomach mostly I couldn’t find a picture but he’s 3 now and has nothing like it anymore
