Like mother, like daughter. Brianna Worthy, a 23-year-old mom from South Carolina, has passed on a rare birthmark causing a bleach affect to her daughter’s hair.

The white streak that falls upon her baby’s forehead matches that of her own, her mother’s and her grandmother’s — making baby MilliAnna the fourth generation to inherit the unusual trait.

These striking locks are the result of a skin and hair condition known as Poliosis, causing a decrease or absence of pigment in the effected area.

While Brianna welcomes polite comments and questions offered from bypassers, she admits the unique feature also has it’s downsides. “I had several names such as skunk that kids would try to insult me with as a child,” she told The Sun.

“I plan to raise my daughter knowing she is beautiful and special and to not listen to people mean comments at times.”
