Sometimes babies are born covered with hair. This is fine. The original hair is called lanugo. The child needs them in utero. This is not necessary for warming, but for keeping the original lubricant on the skin.
Babies in their mom's tummy and immediately after birth are covered with a layer of lubricant that protects their skin from all kinds of chemicals and infection.
In the mother's tummy, his own urine with electrolytes and urea floats around the baby. Have you met urea cream? These creams loosen the skin and remove the stratum corneum. So a child in the womb does not need this. Therefore, virgin lubricant protects it from urea.
And this lubricant also helps the child slide along the birth canal during birth and protects against any infection that the child meets along the way.
So this grease is thick and would easily fall off the baby's body when he flutters in Mom's tummy and kicks it in the liver. In order for the lubricant to better adhere to the skin, wise Nature has grown hair for the kids all over the body. Sometimes there is even a beard. These hairs hold the lubricant on the skin.
When a baby is born, the lubricant protects it from environmental contamination, prevents baby's skin from drying out, and retains heat.
By and large, a child needs original hair in utero. They begin to grow on the forehead, around the eyebrows, around the nose, and then lower and lower. By the time of 33 - 36 weeks, this hair falls out and for some time flounces around the child in the liquid where he swims. It is believed that a child must swallow a certain amount of this hair so that the contents inside his intestines. This will help your intestines work properly after birth.
30% of newborns still have original hair. This is fine. Over time, they are replaced by vellus hair, and the hair that we see on the head.
A few weeks after birth, the original hair will wear out and fall out. There can be nothing wrong with them and nothing needs to be done with them.
If grandmothers and mothers have itching hands to do something with this hair, then it is better to do photoepilation for themselves. So that it is not boring. Excess hair on the human body is rare. And let grandmothers and mothers carry out all sorts of aesthetic tricks like whitening causal places on themselves.
In adults
Lanugos sometimes grow back in adults. Lanugo is not the kind of hair that some women grow from excess male hormones. Lanugo is hormone independent. Rather, they are similar to the body's defensive reaction to adverse environmental factors.
This usually happens in patients with anorexia. Their metabolism is drastically reduced, and the body seems to think it can freeze at room temperature. Therefore, he grows his hair.
Briefly speaking
Original hair is normal. They do not harm anyone and will gradually fall out on their own. You don't have to do anything with them. But some grandmothers and mothers will have painful need do something with this hair. This is such a bestial desire for grooming or squeezing acne. It must be suppressed in oneself. Otherwise, you can harm the baby.
Don't you have a need to squeeze out something?
