A. almost all babies will have a relatively fair colour at birth and due to hormonal changes there will be dark discoloration of the skin around 3 to 6 months of age and it will reduce on its own no need to apply anything on the face as it will only irritate the baby. even if you do multiple treatments the colour will actually come only when the hormonal changes reduce
