As a pediatrician with over a decade of experience in child health, I can provide you with an accurate description of "angel kisses" on babies.

"Angel kisses" is a term often used to describe a common and harmless skin condition in infants known as milia. These are small, white or yellowish bumps that appear on a baby's face, particularly around the nose and cheeks. They are not painful or uncomfortable for the baby and usually resolve on their own within a few weeks without any treatment.

Milia are formed when tiny pockets of keratin, a protein found in the top layer of the skin, become trapped under the skin's surface. This can happen due to the rapid growth and development of a newborn's skin. They are completely normal and not a cause for concern.

To summarize, "angel kisses" are:


1. Common: They are frequently seen in newborns and infants.

2. Harmless: They do not cause any discomfort or health issues.

3. Skin Condition: Technically known as milia, they are not a rash or a disease.

4. Appearance: Small, white or yellowish bumps, often on the face.

5. Resolution: They typically clear up on their own without treatment.
