What is the reason for the dark skin color under the baby's mouth

Patient's question:

Baby is 50 days old. There is a dark-skinned line below the corner of the mouth.
I want to ask what is the reason for this dark-skinned line.

Doctor's answer:

The condition you described is primarily caused by the possibility of glossitis or oral inflammation, leading to these symptoms. For such issues, it is recommended to apply iodine glycerin externally and observe the results. Additionally, it is important to have an appropriate dental examination. The child is at risk of neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to a medical facility immediately for treatment. Avoid using unverified small-advertisements drugs and ensure rational medication use. Parents should closely monitor any changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
