Mine had it as well. It bothers us way more than it bothers them! It'll go away soon enough!

Re: My poor baby has Baby Acne

My DD had severe acne. It was actually like huge welts and she would scratch it because it was itchy. I took her to the dr. for it and first they recommended over the counter hydrocortisone cream, to help with the itchiness. That didn't help much, so they recommended a stronger prescription hydrocortisone cream.

Normally the best way to handle baby acne is to leave it alone. Just keep an eye on it though. We had to use the hydrocortisone cream through 3 months becuase i just kept coming back.

DD had this pretty bad and it completely went away. I think it is pretty common in most babies.

Re: My poor baby has Baby Acne

DS had a bad case too, even through his scalp. In fact, our Christmas cards went out late, because I kept waiting for it to get better before taking the photos. Vain, I know....

Don't worry, it will go away eventually.

Re: My poor baby has Baby Acne

My Ped said that baby acne is actually from the skin being dry, as opposed to adult acne, where it's from the skin being too oily.

She suggested aquifier which I also used on his cradle cap and both have disappeared.
