So age marks aren't cancer? and aren't contagious to other ponies? I thought it might be mold because the centers are darker.
The mould concept is a little bit of a pony urban legend. The marks are age marks/cancer - they are the same thing people just call them different things - its a break down in the plastic itself, the central point is where the break down starts and the staining begins - it fades out in colour from there as the bromide moves through and in the plastic.
So no it wont spread and it cant infect other ponies
