Patient's question:
On April 15th, it was discovered that the body was turning yellow, and four creamy white pustules appeared on the skin. Subsequently, when visiting the hospital, it was found that the pustules continued to grow in number, and later it was diagnosed that the baby had severe hemolysis. Currently, the baby is being treated at the Panzhihua Hospital.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be physiological jaundice. In mild cases, it appears pale yellow, limited to the face and neck, or may affect the trunk, and the sclera may also turn yellow. It usually subsides within 2 to 3 days and returns to normal skin color by the 5th to 6th day. In severe cases, jaundice similarly starts from the head and spreads to the feet, affecting the entire body. Vomit and cerebrospinal fluid may also turn yellow, with the duration lasting more than a week. In some premature infants, it may persist for up to 4 weeks, with yellow stools and no bilirubin in the urine. It is recommended to use blue light therapy, which can be effective.
