A member asked:
Can a newborn's permanent skin color be determined by their ears? any help appreciated!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good indicator: Newborn ears are generally a bit redder and darker than facial skin, but is not a reliable indicator of future skin tone. Why not just wait a few months and see??
