The baby's face is very white, but the skin on their body is indeed very black. So is this not good? Is there any skin disease in the baby? Or is this a normal phenomenon? In response to the questions raised by friends, the editor will analyze from a scientific perspective and see why this is the case?
Is it normal for a baby to have white face and black body
The dark skin of children is related to genetics to some extent, and has nothing to do with blue light therapy. The black and white of human skin depend on the number of melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis. Generally, foods high in vitamin C have whitening effects. But I suggest you don't rush to adjust your baby's skin color now. On the one hand, even if the child grows longer, they may still have white spots. On the other hand, the child has not fully developed yet, so don't ruin their growth.
When facing your own 'black' baby, you must be a discerning parent. The reasons for different 'black' laws are also different. If it presents as localized block like black, it may be related to improper medication. Uniform black may be due to excessive sun exposure. If the skin is dark and rough, parents should pay attention to the baby's nutrition.
Is the baby's white face and black body related to diet
There is currently no evidence to directly prove a relationship between a baby's skin color and their diet during pregnancy. The skin color of a baby depends more on the genes of its parents, that is, the inherited skin color of the parents, which is already determined by their genes at the moment of pregnancy and has little to do with the diet of the expectant mother during pregnancy. If parents have fair skin, their baby's skin will be whiter; Sometimes it may be inherited across generations, with both parents having fair skin but the ancestors having darker skin, so the baby's skin may also be darker. In addition, skin color is also related to the baby's living environment after birth, such as when the light is strong, the skin is prone to darkening.
Generally speaking, doctors recommend expectant mothers to eat more white foods such as milk and apples, but the purpose is not to whiten their skin, but because these foods contain rich nutrients that are beneficial to the health of expectant mothers and their unborn babies.
So it's normal for babies to have this kind of situation, parents don't worry, because babies' skin is still very tender, so even if their skin is black at this time, it can't be said that it will be the same in the future. In fact, babies' skin is still related to genetics. If parents are white, the baby they give birth to will definitely be white too. Don't doubt this!
