do red spots on newborns babies disappear?

Do you mean strawberry birthmarks? Then, usually no...you need laser removal at a later age. If you mean that reddish flush newborns frequently get, then generally yes. And yes if it's neonatal acne...that amniotic fluid the baby is floating in, is full of baby waste by the time of birth so the skin can get irritated.

In their first few days of life, more than half of all full-term babies and as many as four out of five premature infants who are otherwise healthy develop jaundice. Although some babies are jaundiced at birth, most develop infant jaundice during their second or third day of life. This would usually disappear in 2 weeks.  Jaundice that develops or lasts more than 2 weeks can be a sign of a liver malfunction, a severe infection, an enzyme deficiency, or an abnormality of your baby's red blood cells.  Your doctor should do further testing to determine what the exact cause is.

Time...inexpensive and that is all it takes.\n\nYour stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable months after you give birth (or after losing a lot of weight) but will never go away as they are similar to scars. However, you can see a dermatologist to discuss treatment. Here are a few options:\n\n1. tretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A)\n2. laser therapy\n\nYour health insurance plan will not cover "cosmetic" procedures so you'll probably want to find out what this will cost.

Birthmarks get their name for one simple reason: They are marks that are present on the skin of a lot of newborn babies! A baby can develop birthmarks either before he or she is born or soon after birth. \n\nOne of the most common types of birthmarks is called a hemangioma (say: he-man-jee-o-muh). These birthmarks happen when many new blood vessels group together in one place on the skin. Blood vessels are tiny tubes that carry blood through the body. \n\nNo one knows what causes blood vessels to group together, but it's good to know that most birthmarks don't hurt at all and they usually aren't a sign of any kind of illness. Lots of newborns have these birthmarks on the back of the neck (where they're called stork bites) or between the eyebrows (where they're called angel kisses). These birthmarks usually disappear within the first few weeks or months of life. \n\nTypes of Hemangiomas\nOne kind of hemangioma is called a strawberry hemangioma. If you think it gets its name from the fruit, you're right. A strawberry hemangioma is bright red and sticks out of the skin, so it does look a little bit like a strawberry. Some strawberry hemangiomas go away on their own by the time a kid is about 5 years old. Almost all strawberry hemangiomas go away by themselves by the time a kid is about 9 years old. \n\nThere is another type of hemangioma that is beneath the outer layer of skin. It's called a cavernous (say: ka-vur-nus) hemangioma. Cavernous means "like a cave," which is deep in the earth, like this type of birthmark is deep beneath the outer layer of skin. This kind of birthmark is puffier than a strawberry hemangioma. It's also a different color: not red like a strawberry, but more bluish-red. Cavernous hemangiomas usually don't go away by themselves. \n\nPort-Wine Stains\nAnother kind of hemangioma is a port-wine stain. This isn't puffy or raised like a strawberry or cavernous hemangioma - it's level with the outer layer of skin. A port-wine stain is an area of skin that is either maroon (a purplish-red color) or dark red. It gets its name from port wine, a type of wine that is dark maroon. Kids who have port-wine stains usually have them on the face and neck. \n\nDoctors can sometimes use laser surgery to treat birthmarks so that they can't be seen as much. It's important to remember, though, that birthmarks really aren't a big deal and kids who have them aren't any different from kids who don't. \n\nP.S. - If you have had any brown, blue, or black spots on your skin since birth, they are probably types of moles! Moles are tiny collections of pigment cells - cells that contain color. Like other birthmarks, moles don't hurt and usually aren't a sign of illness in kids. Sometimes they're even called beauty marks or beauty spots. But if you have questions about a mole or birthmark on your body, feel free to ask your doctor about it.

Uh... my baby had jaundice for a couple of days after she was born.  They put her on a biliblanket.  Her bilirubin was very high and the UV light broke it down for her.\n\nHope this helped.

if he has had them forever they are probably just birth marks,or maybe premature age spots. to much sun exposer in a single summer can leave brown marks "like an old burn"that never go away.ask him if he goes out in the sun without a shirt much.one good week at the river with no sun block will do it!

this sounds like it could be whats called a ring worm , no it is not actually a worm ! its is a type of fungus however that is highly contagiouse ,you sould take your baby to the doctor because this well only grow bigger and if the area is in the scalp your child will require a special shampoo , if the spot is on some other area of the body you can purchase antifungal shaves that well help to heal the area , but it is safest to check with you doctor to first be sure that it is ring worm , and second to know if its safe to use an over the counter med . on your baby .   these are very common among children ! if you child is in day care its very posiable that this is where this could have came from , also you can contract them from your pets , and in rare cases dirt.  i hope i helped you and your little one !

Hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy often cause what is called the "mask of pregnancy,"  (brownish splotches on the face.)  Birth control medication can also cause this.  Sometimes the pigmentation goes away, sometimes not.  If you are on birth control meds and have the pigmentation, talk to your doc about a change in meds or birth control method.    There are many articles on the web about this.  Just do a search and enter," hormonal pigmentation."

Freckle or moles may become more pigmented (darker in color) during pregnancy.  These can occur anywhere on the body including the breast.  If an existing mole gets larger, irregular in shape or texture, or developes multiple colors - see a doctor immediately.  This could be a malignant melanoma - one of the most dangerous cancers in young women and a threat to your baby.

Pigment in the body is not fully developed at birth.  Caucasian babies will often display the color change you speak of as the pigment in their eyes develops and matures.  In a similar way, African babies are often not born with their final skin color, but start out paler and darken up over their first year.

I have alot of them. I began to get them...humm...maybe when I was 23. I asked my doctor about them and he said they were normal and nothing to worry about. It sounds like the same thing. Mine are like blood red and as you said about the size of a freckle or mole. I remember my mother saying she had them to. I believe they are quite common. However the doctor did not tell me if there was a name for them.

Yes you could be i spotted like that with my first child when i was suppose to start i would spot for a few days i took tests from the store all neg. Doctor took urine tests and blood tests all neg they finally did a ultrasound cause they thought i had a ulser well i was three months preg they had me on ulcer meds before they knew. go to your doctor let him or her know you have been trying for 4 or 5 months you can get a false neg but not a false positive. if you are your body just might not have enough preg hormone yet. my daughter is now 12 years old a very healthy so much for my ulcer thank god the meds did not effect her. Make sure you are taking folic acid or preg vitamins while you are trying the first three months in the womb are when the baby needs this the most.

Cradle cap is not serious and will go away eventually, but can be treated if the baby or child is in discomfort. Very useful information here:\nhttp://www.drgreene.com/21_1062.html

My daughter had lots of milia on her nose and chin when she was born. It took a while, but it went away on it's own. The doctor told me that it is normal in newborns. Since you're obviously not a newborn, you should maybe go to a dermatologist to see if there is anything you can use to get rid of it.
