What is the reason for the newborn baby's face peeling?

Many parents are particularly worried about the peeling on their newborns' faces, because the peeling on the newborns' faces makes the child's facial skin look particularly unhealthy. Therefore, many parents are particularly worried about the occurrence of some diseases. So, they want to fully understand what is the cause of the peeling on the newborns' faces? The following is a detailed explanation so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

Experts point out that the keratinized layer of a newborn's skin, that is, the outermost layer of the epidermis, is easily shed due to its immature development. The inner layer of the skin is called the dermis, and between the epidermis and the dermis is the basement membrane. The basement membrane of newborns is not yet fully developed, and is delicate and soft, which results in a loose connection between the epidermis and dermis, increasing the chance of epidermal shedding. Moreover, newborns are in warm amniotic fluid before birth. After birth, they are stimulated by the external environment, such as cold and dry air, which causes the skin to shrink and become more prone to peeling.

Newborns born on or before the due date will have a layer of vernix caseosa on the surface of their skin. After washing, the baby's skin will peel off. This is not because the baby's skin is dry, but a normal reaction of the skin coming into contact with the air after the vernix caseosa is washed off. Some newborns have some fine lanugo on their shoulders and backs, which usually fade away after half a month.

This phenomenon usually occurs in newborns after birth. If the newborn does not cry, eats, drinks and sleeps normally

Don't worry. It will go down by itself after a while.

Don't be too nervous about normal manifestations. According to the elderly, the child is growing flesh and the outer layer of skin needs to be shed. It is best not to wash the child's face with breast milk. The elderly say that washing the face with breast milk is good, but obstetricians and gynecologists do not recommend washing the face with breast milk. Doctors say that breast milk is rich in nutrients that will irritate the child's delicate skin.
