Suggest Remedy For Regaining Fair Complexion In An Infant
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query Hi my 5month old baby was born fair. He got jaundice when he was two days old. His complexion became tan. Now his face has gone back to the fair complexion but his legs are getting tan day by day. What s wrong?
Hi Tanning is not associated with jaundice. skin colour depends on genetic inheritance , sun exposure & hormones. See if babies legs are more exposed to sun . If it is unusual hyperpigmentation get him evaluated by pediatrician for hormonal imbalance ( Excess of ACTH hormone causes hyperpigmentation). continue breastfeeding if on exclusive breastfeeding. start complimentary food after 6 months. Best wishes
