Teen has birthmark of twin's foot on face after she pressed against her in womb

A woman was born with a unique birthmark on her face - her twin's footprint from when they were together in the womb. Lexi Walker, 18, says she has a "special connection" to her twin sister, Kiara, thanks to her birthmark.

Kiara's foot was pressed against Lexi's cheek while they were in the womb - leaving an imprint where the blood vessels formed differently. Lexi says she used to feel insecure about it - but now has embraced it. She sees it as a special way of staying connected to her sister - even though they live nine hours apart.

Lexi, a financial manager, said: "I do get funny looks - sometimes people just stop and stare or ask questions. When I was younger my family would uplift me to help me love it - I got told it was an angel's kiss and it makes me unique. When I tell people how I actually got it, they're always in shock - it's crazy."
