Características de la piel
Es común que un recién nacido tenga un vello fino, suave y de color claro llamado lanugo cubriéndole la frente, mejillas, hombro y espalda. Algunos recién nacidos también tienen glándulas sebáceas agrandadas que se ven como pequeños puntos blancos en la cara llamados milios. Ambas características son normales y desaparecen algunas semanas después.
