Question
My baby has just been born and there are always pimples on his face. What should I do?
Answer
Hello, pimples on a baby’s face are a normal phenomenon, known as neonatal milia, which is the baby’s response to the external environment and usually does not require special treatment. As for jaundice, neonatal jaundice usually resolves itself within half a month. However, if your baby is already 23 days old and still has jaundice, it is advisable to visit a hospital clinic for a check-up. Additionally, staying hydrated can help alleviate jaundice. If the baby is breastfed, there may be breast milk jaundice later on. But if the jaundice is too high, treatment is still necessary.
