Question
Soon after birth, how should the hair on the baby’s body be removed? Parents have tried using egg whites to rub it off, but the effect is not significant, and there is still lanugo on the back and limbs.
Answer
Lanugo typically falls off naturally within one to two months after birth, so parents should not worry too much. If the situation persists, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital early for a check-up and seek professional medical advice and treatment to ensure the baby’s health. Blindly using unproven methods may cause unnecessary harm to the baby.
