My newborn son is 20 days old. He has thin hairs on his ears. I'm worried that, will that hairs remain or increase with age or decrease with age?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. This is called lanugo. It can sometimes take a few weeks for it to go away, especially for babies who are born early. Some people get more hair in and on their ears as they age -- especially men. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
