Baby Acne

[Jules31981]

Madasyn has what looks like acne ( I think) on her fave.  They are little bumps that are skin color.  Is this normal?  Anythig I should do to get ride of them?  Thanks ladies

It's very normal.  I didn't use anything for my dtr's baby acne so I don't know if there is anything out there.  They'll go away soon..

It's very common. My son had it for a couple of months. You should never poke at it or scrub it. It will go away on it's own. Just keep washing her the way you do, and it will eventually clear up on it's own. How old is she?

It is very common you can wash her face with plain water 2-3 times a day and that should get her pores open it still may last for a while. I thought Nigel had it but when I went to the doctor it was something else something to do with his scalp so make sure you put something like baby lotion in her hair.

Was is cradle cap? Like his scalp was kinda flaky and dry? My son had that pretty bad at one point as well. I think it's our babies adjusting to this new world. =)

yes I think thats what the doc said...it was on his forehead and was dry and flaky like you said, he told me to heat baby oil and take a brush and shake it out. LOf couse the doc used a medical term but I dont remember it. but it come from scalp and can go to his chest

My daughter had baby acne which showed up when she was around 3-4 weeks and it lasted about 1 month.  During her 2 month check up the doctor said that by this time any dry skin or baby acne usually goes away (hers already cleared up).  I had read though not to poke or pop anything, just wash her face.  Every baby is different but aparently baby acne is very common.

Baby acne is totally normal. My dr. said not to do anything and it would clear up on its own! =)

Good luck

baby ache is very common but to get rid of it within a day or two you should just put corn starch powder on the baby after you give him/her a bath everyday, it will clear up right away... thats what i use to use on my nephew when he was a baby (when i was raising him).
