First, newborn's skin may be covered with white cheesy varnish. Some of the newborn babies' womb fat is around the face and body, while others are only found in newborns face and hands. Some hospitals will retain it because the fat provides a natural barrier to resist mild skin infections, while some hospitals will carefully clear out the fat in the newborn after delivery. The medical field believes that it has no need to remove fat on skin because it has the protective properties, and will be naturally be absorbed by the skin within 2 to 3 days. Only the large number of fat accumulation in skin folds should be wiped clean.

Second, newborns skin may be dry and desquamation (most common in the palms and soles of the feet). Generally, in most cases, this dry skin will quickly disappear within a few days.

In addition, the upper body of the neonatal baby may be pale skin color, while the rest half body maybe red. This is due to the imperfect development of the newborn blood circulation leading to the blood collection in the lower body. This can get correction by moving the newborn body position.

These spots are not unusual, therefore, do not squeeze it, and caused by the temporary obstruction of the sweat glands and sebaceous glands (produce sebum to lubricate the skin), usually disappear in a few days.
