Question
How should one handle a five-and-a-half-month-old baby who has developed mild dark circles?
Answer
For a five-and-a-half-month-old baby, the appearance of dark circles is primarily due to thin skin and more prominent capillaries around the eyes, making them appear as dark circles. This condition usually resolves naturally as the baby grows. Additionally, if the baby has a stuffy nose, it may also cause the appearance of dark circles around the eyes. It is recommended that parents carefully observe the baby in the morning for symptoms such as sneezing, tearing, or asthma and consider having the baby undergo an allergy test to rule out allergic possibilities.
