A member asked:

My 15 day old baby had lot of hairs on face , back and arms.. what is the reason ?what should i do to get ride of it?is it normal with babies

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common finding: Examination of all infants will find some fine villus hair covering many body surfaces at birth that gradually diminishes over time.In some ethnic groups it is much darker than others & thus more noticeable. Ignore it.
