No Therapies: Skin color is a genetically determined trait & great variability exists even among siblings. Infant skin is commonly lighter at birth however by 6-9 mos permanent skin color becomes evident & babies may fall anywhere along the skin color spectrum; pre-determined by their unique family heritage. There are no skin lightening therapies for babies. Human colors are like flowers; so many, so pretty!
