1. it goes away on it's own and sooner than you think!

2. be patient, keep their face clean and dont use anything scented on their skin.

3. It'll clear up on its own.

Just make sure you're keeping his/her face clean but no medication is required.

4. My babies got it really bad and it usually conicided with cradle cap. My doc suggested I use a dandruff shampoo just on their heads, and wash their faces with plain water. Both cleared up at the same time about a week after I started using the shampoo. Worked like a charm.

5. Nothing. . .it will clear up on it's own. Just keep the nooks and crannies free from moisture, like the neck and cheeks after eating and getting milk/formula all over.

6. It goes away on its own.
However, if you really want it to go away quickly
you could give the baby an oatmeal bath.

7. keep the baby's face clean
it will disappear on it own.
if not go talk with the dr

8. It will go away on its own, but wiping her face periodically throughout the day (especially after eating) will help it.

Just a note, my daughter was breastfeed and keep her acne until I stopped at 12wks. Her acne was also caused by food allergies I didn't realize she had.

9. Baby acne is caused by the infux of hormones the baby experiences during birth and shortly after. It will clear up on its on, probably within the next month or less.

Don't pick at them or put any sort of lotion or acne medication on them. Use a clean cloth to wash their face once a day and keep it clean and dry (wipe up any milk spillage) and it will be gone before you know it!

10. It will clear up on its own... took my daughter till she was 3 months and creams just made it worse. just wash ur babys face with baby body wash.

11. It will clear up on its own like everyone else said. My son's case was particularly bad, and the pediatrician said that I could use a tiny bit of Ivory soap to help it clear up for our family picture.
