Question

How should one handle excessive body hair in female newborns?

Answer

Excessive body hair in newborns may be due to an imbalance in the endocrine system, which can occur in both male and female infants. Before determining the cause, it is advisable to undergo a hormone six-item test. Based on the description, it may indicate pathological jaundice, which is usually seen in liver dysfunction, hemolytic reactions, or bile duct obstruction, and the cause must be confirmed before treatment.
