Question
A three-month-old girl has developed fine cracks on her face, and although she has been using baby skincare products, the results have been unsatisfactory. I’ve heard that zinc deficiency in children might cause this, is this true? The baby is otherwise healthy, do I need to take her to the hospital for a check-up?
Answer
You can clean the baby’s face with warm water in the morning and evening, followed by applying baby cream. This is unrelated to zinc deficiency.
