Suggest Treatment For Milia On The Forehead And Scalp Of The Child
Question: My 7 days old son has small white spores on his forehead and scalp. What should I do
Brief Answer:
No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
What you refer to as small white spores are actually called milia and caused due to deposit of dead skin cells under the skin. They are entirely normal in the first 3 months of life and nothing needs to be done about them.
You should ignore them.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
