Anyone else dealing with baby acne? It started about two weeks ago on one of the temples on DS face. Now it's everywhere!!! Had him at the peds office & she said that's what it was. I feel so bad for DS, but she said it doesn't bother them. He's a pretty boy no matter what, but God, it's everywhere.
My DS has it bad. Still! Its all over the sides of his face, forehead and arms. I am starting to think it might be eczema? I know they say it doesn't bother them but it looks like it would be tight and itchy and painful. I plan on asking at our next Dr appt this coming week.
LO had hers for about 2 weeks if I remember correctly. It was pretty bad! Unfortunately there is nothing to do about it Every once in a while it looks like it's back, but then it disappears quickly!

Yup... She's got it all over! The doctor said it is at its height (usually) around one month. He said he'd be surprised if it was still there when he saw her next month. I hate that she has it, but what can you do? It does seem to be slowing down a bit now at (almost) 6 weeks.
Yep, we have it here too. It's also on his head under his very light and thin hair. I rubbed some bm on it. It did seem to lighten up, but that may have just been a coincidence.
Good to know someone else is dealing with it. Peds said it was common, but DD didn't have it. Right now there seems to be no end in sight, but good to know its on its way!
Yep, we were in the baby acne boat. Brady had a horrible case of it from about 2-5 weeks. In the last week, it has essentially gone away. We had planned to do family pictures a few weeks ago, but I canceled because his acne was so bad. Hopefully we can reschedule now that he doesn't look like a teenager going through puberty.
DD got it about 5 weeks old. My nephew had it bad. Poor thing, he had a lot. His Dr said breast feeding/breast milk caused his due to the hormones in the bm. I assumed it was the same for my dd. It's pretty much gone now. I noticed baths helped a little.
It seems like it's slowly clearing up. Where it started, is smooth now. But it's super dry and rough now. Kinda crusty in areas. Poor boy, it's on his belly & arms now.
So, I bought this stuff to put on DS skin that Id recommend for anyone that wants to put something all natural to put on baby's skin (for acne, eczema, rash). It's Emily Baby & Adult Skin Soother. Like I said, it's all natural. I've noticed that it's helped clear up DS skin. The newer acne spots are going away quicker than the ones that were a week and a half old. I live in a huge city and it was really hard to find, but found it at a wholeist "doctor" office.... They have a website that you can order off of. I don't know if it's good for cradle cap or not, as I didn't look....
Not to hijack this thread but anyone dealing with cradle cap? DS has it on his eyelids and I know it's not hurting him but it's kinda gross.
My pedi says if cradle cap is bothering us parents (since it won't ever bother the baby) we can use any over the counter adult dandruff shampoo, just be sure not to get it in his eyes. Don't know how you'd manage that with trying to wash his eyelids though. Q tips and a partner?
anybody have rough patches on their LOs skin? It's mainly on his legs and they're not red. Do you think regular baby lotion could irritate it?
DS's shins & calves are the roughest parts of his skin. I put aveeno daily baby lotion on his legs any time I notice the roughness when I'm changing his diaper, probably a couple times a day. This is the same lotion we use all over after his bath.
Babygirl had the acne but bad for a couple of weeks. I wiped her face down morning and night with babywipes and slathered her with coconut oil a couple of times a day. Coconut oil is my answer to everything--I use it instead of diaper cream unless she has an actual diaper rash (only once so far), and found that it works great on the weird rough leg skin, peeling skin on eyelids, my sore nipples, etc. Plus it makes her smell divine.
The babyacne would come and go, even in a day. I do think the coconut oil helped, even if only to make me think I was doing something proactive!

I just noticed my LO has it. I plan to ask the ped at his appointment next week, but Dr. Google says it bothers me more than him. He's also blonde, so I figure if he had dark hair I wouldn't even know about it.
So, it is pretty much gone off of DS face. It was really, really bad. It's been gone off his face for a couple days now. I don't know if the stuff I was using helped, or if it just ran its course. He still has it on his body, but it seems to be going away too. So, it lasted a little over two weeks, if anyone is wondering time line.....
Dd had cradle cap pretty bad. Gross as it sounds I picked alot of it off his scalp then put aveno lotion on. It's been gone now for a few weeks. The dr had said baby oil and coming it would work so that was my method
