Baby acne right before newborn pictures?

My month old daughter just broke out in her first case of baby acne...right before her newborn pictures of course! When my son broke out in it, the pediatrician gave us some cream that would make it temporarily disappear. Does anyone know what that cream is, or have other acne tips to help lessen it before her pictures? Thanks!

1. I went through the same thing with my little one years ago. I used Phisoderm for babies, it didn't take it away immediately but it sure helped and I just accepted and embraced that stage. Its now 8 years later and that baby acne doesn't make any difference today! ;) good luck.

2. reschedule her pictures for 3-4 weeks from now. It wont be tragic if she doens't have professionally done portraits. Just snap a few pics at home for now and wait on spending the big bucks. When she's 10 years old, you wont care that the pictures were when she was a bit older.

3. I don't know. My first son had that problem, then my next two had none. Now my daughter has the problem.

It is horrilbe its so ugly!
