A. The photo was taken by a medical doctor.

B. It’s called a birth deformity. The term is clearly stated as well as what has caused it. 

C. These photos help other doctors classify and treat babies or children born with these issues as well as finding the causes.

D. This is my blog, I post what I want. Who said this blog was all pin-ups? Obviously your stupid assumption is wrong and you need to find a blog more keen to your hipster interests. BE GONE.

E. I do not conform to what anyone wants.
