Most babies' skin is pink white and very thin, so if there is a problem with the skin, it will be very obvious. Sometimes mothers may notice red blood streaks on the baby's face for some reason. So what if the baby's face is bloodshot?
There are several reasons that can cause blood streaks on a baby's skin. Firstly, it can be caused by external pressure that ruptures the capillaries on the surface of the skin. For example, squeezing one side of the skin for a long time while sleeping at night can easily lead to blood streaks; The second is anemia. If the baby has anemia, the blood color on the skin will be lighter, and the color of blood vessels will be more prominent, so the blood streaks visible through the skin will also be more noticeable.
So what should I do if my baby's skin has blood streaks?
Firstly, gently massage the skin. A small amount of red blood streaks on the baby's skin is generally not a serious problem. As long as the mother gently massages the area where the red blood streaks appear, the blood streaks can slowly dissipate.
Secondly, do not constantly press the same face while the baby is sleeping. If the baby is used to sleeping on their side, the mother should promptly turn the baby over at night to avoid prolonged compression on the same face.
Also, it is important to avoid external injuries to the face. Do not forcefully kiss the baby's face, and do not pinch the baby's face with your hands. Although these intimate actions express parents' love for their babies, they may inadvertently harm the baby's facial skin.
