Although their appearance may be noticeable, they are generally harmless and disappear on their own over time. For this reason, experts recommend not touching them or attempting to remove them manually.
One of the most common mistakes occurs when some people try to peel off these small layers of skin using their fingernails or applying different products to the area. Far from helping, this practice can cause irritation, discomfort, and even small wounds in an extremely sensitive part of the body.
Newborns have very delicate skin on their lips. Attempting to pop a sucking blister can cause unnecessary injury, which can be painful and temporarily hinder feeding. Therefore, the main recommendation is to observe the natural healing process and avoid any aggressive intervention.
However, these marks can provide useful information about how the child feeds. Some specialists point out that when sucking blisters persist for extended periods or appear repeatedly, it might be advisable to review the feeding technique.
