BABY ACNe???

MY 2 weeks old baby has been developing a lot of acne on his cheeks and forehead. Sometimes it looks lesser sometimes more. Does anybody know any home remedies for it ???

1. As tempting as it is to put something on it my doctor said not to. He said it needed to dry out. My daughters baby acne went away at about 5 to 6 weeks

2. Just keep his face clean and moisturized. It will go away on it's own. See, your baby has been exposed to your hormones (in little girls it can cause bloody discharge, for example) and when they wear off, the acne will go away.

3. Leave it be...most babies get it. Their skin is soooo sensitive- don't use anything but plain water on it! Make sure you wipe away any milk/spitup etc. If you are really concerned call your pediatrition.

4. I know it looks awful, but just leave it alone other than gently cleaning his face morning and night with plain warm water and a soft cloth. It will go away on it's own, and he'll have that beautiful baby complexion

5. You dont put anything on their skin but warm water to keep the oils off of it. I know it may seem bad for baby, but all babies get it and it is ok.

6. Normal thing that lots of babies get. Don't put anything on it though. Leave it open to the air and it will go away in time.

7. go to the doctor

8. It's totally normal. It's just his skin adjusting to being outside the womb. It could spread from anywhere from his chest, up over the top of his head, and down his back. It's going to get ugly and gross, but it's not harmful. Keep it clean and dry - DO NOT put lotion on it or anything else, that'll make it worse - and it'll go away on it's own. It could take until he's six months old, but if you ignore it, it'll go away.

9. Just make sure you are washing his face with a warm washcloth every once in a while, especially after he eats. If it gets bad around his mouth/nose area you can use a little vaseline on it so it's not so dry. It will take a little while to go away, but it does eventually.

10. My daughter had acne (she is 7m now) I heard that putting breastmilk on it will help reduce the appearence. DON'T put lotion (any kind) or soap on it. It will irritate it A LOT! Wash face with warm water and cloth. It will go away, I promise.
My daughters acted up when she cried, was in the heat, or was eating...

11. its not acne..its called milk bumps...they will go away

12. my littlee girl 5 weeks has the same, right through her hair, and the tend to flare up when she gets worked up
i agree with everyone else, the best is to wash it regularly and don't do anything to irritate it

13. Don't try to pick at it or anything. Your baby is just getting used to the outside world, and his skin is adjusting to all the air, and everything else. Most babies get it, and it will go away before you know it! Congrats on the new baby!
