Baby's nail base skin turns black

If the skin at the base of the baby's nails is black, parents must pay attention to it if it is a newborn baby. The black skin at the base of the nails of a newborn baby may be caused by low body temperature or low blood oxygen saturation. If the body temperature returns to normal and the black skin disappears, there is generally no need to worry too much. If the skin at the base of the nails is black in an older baby, it may be caused by poor peripheral blood circulation in the child. It is best to take your child to the hospital for treatment in time.

What to do if your newborn has dark skin

What should I do if my newborn baby has dark skin? Experts say that it is normal for a newborn's skin to turn dark, which is related to the environment she is in the mother's womb. The dark skin of a newborn generally indicates that the child's peripheral blood circulation function is not yet perfect. It will change and improve for the better as the child's nutrition and energy are continuously replenished. Adult skin care products usually contain some functional ingredients, such as whitening, sun protection, anti-aging, etc. These ingredients can cause great irritation to the delicate skin of babies. Baby's skin does not need whitening or anti-aging, it just needs to be moisturized and hydrated.

The principle of purchasing baby skin care products is that they should be fragrance-free, alcohol-free, non-irritating, and able to protect the skin's moisture balance; it is not advisable to change baby's skin care products frequently to avoid skin allergies and discomfort.

How long does it take for a newborn's skin to turn white?

Generally speaking, the skin of a newborn baby will return to whiteness in 6-8 months. The skin of a newborn is thin, rich in blood vessels, and has strong absorption and permeability. Therefore, do not use ointments on newborns at will, especially ointments containing hormones. Just wait patiently for the baby to grow, and the situation will gradually improve.

In addition, if the baby's skin is dry, make sure to let him drink plenty of water. It is best to apply some moisturizer after washing his face in the morning and evening, such as Beiyue baby skin care products containing calendula and chamomile ingredients. Make sure to eat more vegetables and fruits every day, so that the baby will not easily cause dry skin.

Another point is that if a baby has dark skin, it is often related to genetics. However, if the parents’ skin is not very dark, it may be because the jaundice does not fade well. You can take them out less often to bask in the sun, and the baby will grow up slowly.
