Baby acne

Does anyone have any experience with baby acne? My little girl has started to get spots around one eye and it’s looking irritated. Does this look like baby acne? The midwife comes tomorrow but it’s playing on my mind.

Doesn’t look like baby acne to me, but it’s best to not speculate and overthink. If your baby is well wait for the midwife to take a look but I’d probably try to send your gp a picture in the morning just to be sure

Hey I would use mustela cleaning water and any ezcema cream Candulla cream works well

Baby acne usually are little white heads around their cheeks and what not. The fact that this is grouped around baby’s eye, I’m thinking some kind of rash. But I would definitely talk to a health care professional

Breastmilk on a cotton pad. Works wonders!

My baby had similar baby acne plus his eyed looked like he had a pink eye from a clogged tear duct, warm water and breast milk on a cotton pad did the trick!

@Claudia the midwife came today and confirmed it was baby acne. I’m not breastfeeding so don’t have any of the magic potion 😂 she said it will clear up on its own though either way x

@Sara I don’t have any breast milk, I didn’t get any support BF so my journey ended before it even had chance to start 😢

@Coral 😂😂 it's okay! It does go away by itself, the breast milk just make it go faster!

This ended up being baby acne and it cleared up with a little bit of E45 cream 😊
