in the first place vs from the first

I was born with it.
I had that mark on my face
"from the first "or "in the first place."

Will either of these fine?

Any advice would be very grateful..
Thank you~:)

No, because "birthmark" means that you were born with this mark.

I have a birthmark.
This is a birthmark.
I was born with a birthmark on my face.

These are natural in American English:

I should have told you from the start.
I should have told you in the first place
