Baby Acne...
It seems like every morning he wakes up with more pimples. Is there anything I can use, or do I have to let it go away by its self?

Re: Baby Acne...
Someone on here suggested Johnsons & Johnson's baby shampoo. A little on the face. It worked like a miracle for Alex...

Re: Baby Acne...
i took olivia to the doctors for that 2 weeks ago and they told me to clean her face with cetaphil. i wash her face every day and bathe her every other day so i dont dry out her skin. I definitely see a difference. i asked my pediatrician about the johnson baby shampoo and she told me not to use it since it dries out her skin. i dont know if the shampoo is hypoallergenic but the cetaphil is and seems to work. the reason for the acne is your hormones that pass onto her.

Re: Baby Acne...
Ryan has the same problem. His skin is rough on his cheeks with the pimples and he seems to get new ones everyday. I have been washing his face with the baby wash, but will try the cetaphil Corinne suggested.

Re: Baby Acne...
I was just going to post about this today. My Isabella has it bad. She is almost 3 weeks old. I have read that you shouldn't use anything on them- for those who have- did it work and what did you use? I know it shouldn't upset me but it is.
TIA!

Re: Baby Acne...
I was the one who mentioned J&J baby shampoo awhile back. My sister-in-law's doctor recommended it to her and her baby's acne totally went away. I know some people on here have used it since then and have had success.
My sister-in-law would take a wash cloth and put the shampoo on that and wipe the baby's face every night. Cleared up in 3 days.

OK- dumb question- do you use water with the shampoo? I mean wet the cloth and put the shampoo on it and then wipe off with a wet cloth? You don't leave the shampoo on her do you? Sorry for the dumb question but you never know. I just want this to go away!

I used to put it directly on his skin then wash it off with a wet washcloth.

Okay sorry i just saw this...yes she would wet the cloth and put the shampoo on it and rub it around then wipe. After a few minutes she would wipe it off with the wet cloth. Good luck let us know how it goes.

Re: Baby Acne...
Emily had HORRIBLE baby acne. It was all red, irritated and swollen. My dr said to just use a small amount of hydrocortisone cream and we used it for about 2 months every day. It took that long for her skin to get "Normal" again. Good luck and remember it's very common and will go away.
