Question by Olivia: How can you get rid of “Baby Acne”?
My 3 week old son has a little case of baby acne. I’ve tried using his baby wash with warm water, and it’s not clearing up. I’m afraid to try anything else on my own. It’s not a big deal, because I know it will clear up on its own eventually, but it would still be nice to be able to deal with the problem myself. Any ideas?

Best answer:

Answer by msu_milk_chocolateWell, there are some things you should not do. Don’t put creams or oils on your baby’s skin, because these can make the acne worse. Don’t use over-the-counter acne medicines. And don’t scrub. Baby acne isn’t caused by dirt.

In fact, too much washing can further irritate your baby’s skin, so don’t overdo the cleansing. Simply wash your baby’s face with mild baby soap and water once a day. Gently pat it dry.

Patience is usually the best course of action. Your baby’s acne doesn’t bother him in the least, so try not to let it bother you, either.
