What Could Cause Dark Pigmentation On Ear In A 2 Weeks Old Child?
Hi, My daughter is 2 weeks old, She is light colored but the color of her ears is dark at the top and light at the ear lobes. I heard its becuase of defficiancy of oxygen , Is that true ? or it may connected to a heart condition as well as I researched online.Whats your advice in this ? Thanks
If your daughter is otherwise normal, with good growth, no delay in milestones, no evident abnormalities then this just some harmless pigmentation. Usually newborns are screened for heart disease so if your baby had one you would have been informed. However, if you are still concerned get an extensive checkup done by the pediatrician. I hope this answered your query
