How Can My Baby Have Baby Acne, He's Not That Old?
Acne is a condition only
affecting teenagers, true?
False. Acne is a condition
which can affect people of
any age, hence baby acne and
adult acne are common. However
acne is more common in teens.
Acne is the number one skin
problem in the world and affects
huge numbers of people worldwide.
And baby acne, although not
common, can be a cause of
some angst amongst parents.
What is baby acne? Acne is
not totally understood, including
baby acne. The cause of acne
is not agreed on amongst the
scientists. However the general
consensus is that acne, including
baby acne, is a condition
caused by changes in the body's
hormones.
And when are the body's hormones
changing? Well certainly in
the teenage years. But also
at some other times in life.
Like birth. When a baby has
been separated from it's mothers
body by birth and it is living
on it's own for the very first
time. And when it is also
getting some supplies of hormones
from it's mothers milk at
the same time.
Baby acne can occur in very
young babies of 2 or 3 weeks,
more commonly boys, up until
around 6 months or so. It
appears on various parts of
the baby's body such as the
forehead, cheeks and chin,
or more rarely the bottom
or back, and appears as small
white spots on the skin. Or
it could look like a red rash
with raised bumps.
The good news is that baby
acne is not serious and very
rarely requires any treatment,
so refrain from rushing out
looking to buy baby acne remedies.
In fact you should refrain
from any baby acne remedies
until you have seen your doctor
and usually your doctor will
not prescribe any medication
at all.
Baby acne usually goes away
by itself. It is sufficient
in most cases to do some gentle
facial cleansing once or at
most twice a day using a mild
baby cleanser and clean water.
Do not scrub baby's face,
this will not help and may
be counterproductive. Don't
apply lotions or potions or
oils. Don't look for fancy
baby acne remedies, don't
try applying vinegar solution
for baby acne as some do.
It will all go away in time.
When attending one of your
regular baby check ups ask
them about it. Chances they
will tell you it's just baby
acne, don't worry about it.
