My baby is 2.5 months old now. When she was just 2 weeks old, she needed to go through phototherapy for jaundice and was also in the NICU due to low birth weight. Since the therapy, her skin has become much darker, even though she was really fair when she was born. I'm worried about her skin color now. Is there something I can do to help her skin, or will it lighten over time?

The darkening of your baby's skin after phototherapy for jaundice is likely due to the treatment's effect on melanin production; however, it's essential to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, and in the meantime, maintain good skincare habits, such as gentle bathing, moisturizing, and sun protection, and avoid using any harsh or bleaching products on your baby's skin.
