How do I treat Infant Acne on my 3 1/2 week old baby?

The Dr. told me there is nothing I can do.....but there must be something other than just using baby wash on it. Its on her face, and a little on her back.How do I treat Infant Acne on my 3 1/2 week old baby?
baby's skin is so sensitive...the best thing you can do is just keep her face clean...baby acne goes away pretty fast and it can be caused by so many things: heat, chapped from cold, sensitivity, or just from baby's new non-amniotic fluid environment...and i bet you no one notices but you!





-hbbHow do I treat Infant Acne on my 3 1/2 week old baby?
u cant it goes away on its own and whatever u do DO NOT USE THAT CLEAN%26amp;CLEAR or CLEARISAL stuff
It will go away soon, it is milk bumps, not acne. if the babies skin dries out then use baby moisterizing cream or lotion.
it should go away on it own but make sure to ask doc that that is what it is what it is and if you see any iteration then put some lotion on face bc my baby's got dry
im a mother of 2 and both of my babies had the same infant acne. trust your doc it will go away do not put anything on it their skins are too sensitive ans the only thing that will happen if you do is burn your babies face. be patient i know how annoying that can be casue u want your baby looking perfect but its for his/her own good. good luck! and congradulations on your new baby!
Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. Please listen to your pediatrician. It will go away within a few weeks. I always just used warm water on my son's baby acne and nothing else. I didn't want to further irritate his skin.
You don't. It will go away. Life is not a beautycontest...
use Aquaphor - it's not a perscription medicine and you can buy it at any pharmacy or big chain store- but other than that you can't do anything because it's hormones left over from mommy flushing themselves out of baby's system
It will go away on its own. The last thing you want to do is use some harsh acne stuff on your baby's delicate skin. Most babies go through this.
Most likely your little one just has Milia, which are little white bumps that are just some leftover hormones... most ALL newborn babies have this and will go away on their own in a few weeks.





Don't EVER pick on them or use adult acne medication. It can make it worse. Just keep it clean, leave it alone and it will go away.





I have 4 children - 17, 9, 7, and 5 months.





If you're still worried, take a look at this website.

Don't worry about it! That is completely normal and if you pick at it you will hurt your baby and make it worse. There are many skin conditions that come with newborns that are completely common. Here is a sight that I found. Good luck :)

You just leave it alone. It will clear up, I promise =)
i used a little of that desitin clear on my sons acne rash and it seemed to help a lot especial with the prevention of new breakouts.
All babies should get that early on. Just don't touch it or it will irritate it. Leave it alone and it will go away.
There is nothing you can or should do. The infant acne is from your hormones leaving his body. It will clear up on it's own. You don't want to be using harsh products on you baby's sensitive skin.
Baby acne is perfectly normal and I wouldn't expect it to clear up sooner than a month or two. There isn't anything you can do, the baby's skin is adjusting to being outside the womb. The best thing you can do is keep her clean, and bathe her regularly. My daughter also has it, but keeping it clean seems to keep outbreaks from happening. Warm water for sure, and some baby wash on her back. I'd avoid washing her face with anything that might have detergent in it, since it might make it worse. Just hang in there, I'm sure she's beautiful even with the little whiteheads!
I am sure it will go away, listen to your Dr.
All baby's go thru that, at least my daughter did and things are fine now. All I did was bath her like normal and wash her face. I should go away, just give it time. If you wash to much she'll get dry skin and it may crack. Give it a little time..
