Why do newborns have blood vessels on their faces?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Why do newborns have blood vessels on their faces?

Doctor's answer:

The child's condition is currently not serious. The red blood vessels on the face may be due to telangiectasia. Therefore, the appearance of red blood vessels on the face is usually associated with fair and sensitive skin. As the child grows older, it will improve. When feeding, it is important to avoid getting milk on the child's face, as it can easily lead to facial tinea. After the full moon, if the weather is good, it is appropriate to expose the child to sunlight.
