Baby acne 😭

My baby has pretty bad baby acne. He’s 3 weeks old. Has anyone found anything that helps? How long does this usually last?

My baby had the same thing at three weeks. You should just leave it alone! It’s your babies body regulating hormones and should go away within a few days. If it lasts longer than a week I’d let his pediatrician know

Mine had the same really bad started around 3.5 weeks and he’s almost rid of it at 5 weeks. I used breast milk and warm water. Xx

My daughter has it and I'm leaving it alone. It's slowly going away. My eldest had it when she was a baby has I was worried about it and the midwife said leave it. That was 18 months ago and she has perfect skin

My oldest had really bad baby acne . What helped was breast milk . I did a research and my grandmother told me about breast milk wonders and it did help ! I would put it on his skin like lotion and it started to go way in less than a week or 2

my baby started having really bad acne at 1-2 weeks and i was told to leave it alone by pediatrician and it will resolve itself but it only got worse and i hated seeing her like that so i just started using baby wipes and her face is clear now, she’s now 3 weeks old. the warm wash cloth method didn’t help my baby either tbh i think that made it worse.

Have you tried anything? Breastmilk, aquaphor, or tubby Todd are good options. But when my baby was around the same age as your little one and had red pumps all over her face and neck. I thought it was baby acne but it was cradle cap the moved to her face and neck. Try something and if it doesn’t go away talk to his doctor.

Hi I also have a newborn struggling with this and we got the Mustela cleansing water you can find it on Amazon or at Target and I put it on a cotton round and wipe his face once in the morning and once at night it has helped so much

Would anyone mind posting a photo? Not sure if this is what my little one has as well Thank you

I avoided baby acne this time round. Only using child’s farm baby wash in her baths and not wearing any perfume on myself to prevent contact - then my friend held her yesterday with perfume on and she now has a huge rash down one side of her face! 😩 I also use non bio to wash her clothes! Their skin is so sensitive :( x
