Question
My child is one month old and has sparse hair. What can I eat to improve this? Additionally, there are many small red dots on their face and around the mouth. What are these, and how should they be treated?
Answer
Sparse hair in newborns is a normal physiological phenomenon. Hair typically increases gradually by the age of 1, and becomes dense by the ages of 5 to 6. The small red dots on the face may be eczema. It is recommended to use baby-specific eczema cream for treatment.
