Baby acne or rash?

He’s 4 weeks old and it started at 2 weeks and just keeps getting worse. It did actually get better on his forehead but then it got bad on his cheeks and neck

Following my baby has almost the same exact rash

If able try breast milk / break milk bath! It gets better over time though

Mine looks exactly like this also. Started at 3 weeks and she’s now 5.5 weeks and I’m getting worried it’s not resolving

Might be cradle cap! My baby had the same I massage mineral oil on her scalp before showering and then apply Tubby Todd all over ointment on her face! Working really well so far. Would ask your Dr.!

@Tatiana I didn’t know cradle cap could show up on the face! My first had cradle cap as well

@Robin how much milk should I put in the bath?

@Danielle i thought my daughter had baby acne too but the Dr told me it’s caused by her cradle cap

Wash his face in the morning and before bed

@Rene you don’t think that’ll be too much?

@Danielle it looks like my baby and the pediatrician told us it was eczema I would go to the pediatrician to be sure we can’t give you a diagnosis from a picture and we’re not expert If eczema my advice avoid anything containing perfume on your baby skin and only have cotton fabrics for the onesies

Could be a heat rash

@Anna I don’t think so since it’s there on cool days as well

Try tubby todd, it works like magic for any acne/bumps on my babys face

My baby has cradle cap! Looks just like this. I went to doctor on Tuesday and it’s already pretty much gone with creams

Looks like heat rash
