Question

Is it normal for a newborn to have many hemorrhage points on their face after crying?

Answer

When a newborn cries, due to the congestion of the skin and mucous membranes, combined with the relatively poor elasticity of the skin capillaries, hemorrhage points may appear on the skin. This situation usually does not require concern, as it often resolves on its own. As long as the platelet count is normal, there is no need to be overly worried. These hemorrhage points typically fade after a few days. However, if you are concerned or have doubts, please take your child to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek medical attention as needed.
