My newborns vagina has a white odorless stuff that looks like a dried powder . what is that? is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't worry: Newborn girls can get a sticky, white powder like debris that is dead skin cells that collects in the folds. They also can get a sticky whitish secretion from their vaginas, but that is not powder like. Both are normal and go away without doing anythin.
