Question
Why is a newborn’s bottom always blue?
Answer
Newborns or infants may have regional skin bruising due to their constitution or issues with regional blood circulation, which is a normal condition and there is no need to worry excessively. This bruising can usually resolve on its own after some time, but if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as red spots and vomiting, it may be a sign of illness, and immediate medical treatment should be sought. Parents should pay close attention to any changes in their child’s symptoms and treat them promptly to avoid delaying the condition.
