Patient's question:
The baby was born prematurely. When he was born, he didn't seem dark, but after being treated with blue light for jaundice, he came back looking quite dark. His skin is very dry and rough now. I don't know what to do, and it breaks my heart just looking at him. When I take him out, people ask why he's so dark, and I just don't know what to say.Doctor's answer:
Your good friend, 2 years old. The baby was born prematurely. When he was born, he didn't seem very dark, but 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, and it's heart-wrenching to see him like this. When we take him out, people ask why he's so dark. In this case, you can apply some glycerin to his skin.
