Baby Acne?

Question

Has anyone experience this with their babies skin? I wash her face with AQUAPHOR
BABY WASH & SHAMPOO morning and night. I only did it at night at first but her face broke out so much. Am I doing it too often? I also put AQUAPHOR healing ointment too on her face because it was getting very dry. The pediatrician said it’s baby acne, but this is all over her poor face .

Answer

Baby acne is super common and is just from maternal hormones still working their way out of baby's system. I know it's hard to look at on your sweet babe but t will clear up on its own in a month or two! Putting lots of stuff on it could actually make it worse -- aquaphor has potential irritants/allergens. I'd stick to bathing maybe every 3 days or 2-3x week? Give her a wipe down every day maybe put some breast milk on it.

Answer

My newborn had it pretty bad her first week. I kept her sky dry and had a humidifier at night.
I wouldn't put anything on it as it might be clogging. It will eventually go away. Thier skin is adjusting to being in the outside world. Don't stress as its very common.

Answer

My pediatrician told me not to do anything for the baby acne - it comes and goes on my son. I think you’re definitely overdoing it…
I don’t even wash his face with soap - just wipe it with water. They don’t have the same kind of oils and hormones that we do that make washing that way necessary. In fact you want to let the skin have some natural oils…

Answer

I use a wash cloth & just gently wipe her forehead & cheeks with this then use my hand to wipe it off with water!! She had it really bad & after I started this it cleared up in a day or two!!

Answer

In most cases (unless your pediatrician tells you differently) it's better to leave it alone and let it heal by itself. It may look bad now but it will heal up and go away on its own over time.
