Patient's question:
The baby was born premature, and at birth, he didn't seem dark. After the jaundice treatment with blue light, he came back looking quite dark. His skin is very dry and rough now. I don't know what to do, and it's heart-wrenching to see him like this. When we take him out, people ask why he's so dark, and it's just frustrating.Doctor's answer:
Your good friend, 2 years old. The baby was born prematurely, and at birth, he didn't seem very dark. After being treated with blue light for jaundice, he came back looking quite dark. His skin is very dry and rough now. It's only autumn, but his skin is already a bit like that, and his feet are a bit cracked. I don't know what to do; it's heart-wrenching just to look at him. When we take him out, people ask why he's so dark. In this case, you can apply some glycerin to his skin.
