Patient's question:
My baby has had particularly thin skin since birth, with a net-like pattern of blood vessels on their body, which becomes more noticeable when they are distressed. What could be the reason for thin skin with a net-like pattern of blood vessels in newborns?Doctor's answer:
The skin of a newborn is thinner than that of an adult, making it easier to see capillaries. What you see as a network is actually the capillaries inside the baby's body. As the baby grows, these lines will gradually disappear, so there's no need to worry too much. During breastfeeding, the mother should eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, which is beneficial for the baby's vitamin intake. Generally, with age, the condition can gradually improve on its own. Pay attention to skin hygiene and avoid damaging the skin in daily life.
