is this baby acne?

Question

Is this baby acne or a rash? He is fixing to be 5 weeks and has had this for about a week. Same on the other side. Has some on chest and a little on back of neck. His ear just looks bad to me. Any advice?

Answer

Looks like baby acne! I've been battling it with my 3 week old daughter for over a week. I would highly recommend Mustela PhysiObebe Cleansing Fluid twice a day. Breastmilk & letting it dry helps as well as coconut oil. It'll go away with time- promise!

Answer

Does your son also have cradle cap by any chance? That looks similar to how my son's face looked at first, we thought it was baby acne, tried putting a bit of breast milk on it. Instead of going away it kept getting worse until one day we woke up and it was starting to turn yellow and scabby looking in some spots so I took him to his pediatrician. It was seborrheic dermatitis which apparently is the same rash as cradle cap but it was on his face instead of just staying on top of his head. She gave me a bunch of free samples of cetaphil soap to wash his face with, a prescription antibiotic ointment for the scabby spots, and told us to buy Aquaphor to put on his face a few times a day. His face has slowly been getting a little better every day, after a week of doing this it looks so much better!

Answer

If you notice dry patches on it and it gets worse go in. He could have an allergy or eczema.

Answer

Looks like baby acne. If it gets worse or rough scaly feeling take him in. My lo had baby acne and a rash! They gave us hydrocortisone and it cleared up on 2 days!

Answer

Right when he wakes up or when he sleeps his face doesn't look bad. But after getting up and especially when he cries or gets hot it flares up and stays that way until he sleeps again.

My son has this too he's 5 weeks as well but had it for a few weeks maybe 3 😩 Baby skin is super sensitive so what I did was washed all my tops with baby detergent don't wear make up or perfume and also when laying him down on bed or if ppl hold him always lay him on one of his blanket. Last but not least breast milk. A lot of ppl told me about that and I tried it. Does seem like his face is getting better. Hope this helps.

Answer

It looks like baby acne. My daughter had it and it lasted a little over a week and it's finally cleared up. It looked awful 😞

It was really itchy right before it healed and she was constantly rubbing at her face and rubbing her face in my chest when I held her. The doctor told me to use .5 strength hydrocortisone cream and it helped. Once I used the cream, it healed within 2 days. Now she just has cradle cap!

The photo is of the acne right before it started clearing up. It kind of crusted over first then went away completely.

Answer

You can try putting breast milk on and let it dry on the face. My little one was getting terrible acne and the breast milk cleared hers up within the day.
