Genes help

I need help to know why my eyes are the way they are. My mom said I had a twin. During the pregnancy, we had a blood fusion or something like that. The twin then ended up not being born but our chromosomes mixed. But I have a cousin who says it might be some Waardenburg syndrome. He says that because I have two eye colors and hair in between my eyebrows. Can someone tell me if it is one of those two reasons or if it's something else. If it helps, my mom also says that the twin thing is why my face turns half red when I exercise.

I think the entire right side of my face turns red in color, but thats when I exercise a lot. And with the eyes, my mom says that a nerve died while I was being born so now one of my eyes won't open all the way.

What part of your face turns red when you exercise?  You might be in the early stages of lupus if it's a butterfly rash.  The eye thing is probably genetic.  I'd see an opthomoligist to make sure.  And the hair between your eyebrows is just something random people have.  You can wax than.  You may have Italian blood in you.  Italian women are often hairy as are other women with certain genetics  You can wax that between your eyebrows or shave it.  And having two different eye colors makes you unique.  You are problably young, but when you get older guys will tell you how rare and cool it is to have different eye colors.  If it bothers you get a pair of contact lenses that are colored the color you want.
