Question

Is it normal for newborns to have white blisters on their heads?

Answer

White blisters appearing on a newborn’s head may be caused by the baby being dressed too warmly or wearing a hat, leading to overheating. This is normal because newborns have a more vigorous blood circulation in their heads and faster skin metabolism, which can result in small white blisters. This condition usually resolves on its own after some time. You can gently wipe the area with warm water twice a day and avoid covering the baby’s head with a hat. Keeping the area dry and clean will help the white blisters fade quickly. Thank you for your patience! If you need further assistance or have any other questions, I’m more than happy to help you.
