How do you treat toddler acne?

My 19 month old son has broken out in small white and red bumps on his cheeks, arms and thighs. They have been there for over a month but are not bothersome at all. Any ideas on how I can get rid of this????How do you treat toddler acne?
It may be from the heat. My in laws all get it in the summer and my daughter does too. Aquapher (i think the spelling is right) works really well for acne. You can try this but if it doesn't work then it is probably from the heat and should go away after summer.How do you treat toddler acne?
Easy, think about what you did differently and then go back to before.





Did you change soap? Shampoo? (it runs down the body), laundry soap? New bedding? New fertilizer? (they roll in grass/dirt a lot) Basically, Whatever his skin touches could cause him to have the bumps. Think about it and eliminate the issue, in a few days, he should go back to normal.
Mhm, sounds like heat rash. Make sure he's wearing cotton fabrics and that he doesn't chafe.


Like if he's wet and he still walks around in his drying clothes, It'll aggitate.





And just change his diaper regularly I guess?
I would not consider that acne. It is something else, maybe an allergic reaction. I would see a doctor. It could be keratosis.
They are just from the heat they will go away later.
