Dear Doctor, The skin is the biggest organ in the human body, and it performs critical activities such as barrier integrity, thermoregulation, immunological function, and protection against microbial and Ultraviolet (UV) ray invasion. The skin of a newborn or infant differs from that of an adult. Infant skin is 40-60 times thinner, less moisturized, and has a lower natural moisturizing factor (NMF) than adult skin.
In addition, the frail and sensitive quality of the neonate's skin necessitates extra care. This survey is meant to gather insights on the skincare recommendations for newborns and infants. It will take just 2-3 minutes to complete this survey.
