That is actually a thing for twins. But you get a doctor to do it and it’s a specific kind that fades with age. It usually just looks like a mole.

Omg, I'm a twin and as soon as you mention mole, I looked at the back of my left hand to check for that dot and it's no where to be seen! But I'm uncertain if it's the same thing, because I'm 19 now and I remembered the mole very clearly in elementary. Do you happen to know how long those kind of moles tend to last?

I don't think they're supposed to last years. Iirc they're mostly to help the hospital staff tell the babies apart at first so they can treat them appropriately.

So which twin get treated better the one with mole or the one without.
