What should I do if there are bumps on a newborn's face?

Patient's question:

My baby. Just born a few days ago, always getting bumps on her face. What should I do about bumps on a newborn's face?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is neonatal milia, which is common in all babies. Due to their delicate skin, it's a reaction to the external environment after they are born from their mother's womb. No treatment is usually needed. Neonatal jaundice generally subsides within half a month. Since you are now 23 days old and still experiencing jaundice, it is recommended to visit the clinic for a check-up. Drink more water and, if breastfeeding, be aware that breast milk jaundice may occur later, but if it is too high, treatment is necessary.
