Help With
Baby Acne
 |
Baby acne
is very common in newborns but also quite alarming to new moms. But you can be rest assured that baby acne is
not a serious issue. Something else you
need not lose sleep over is looking for causes or cures. There isn’t a lot you can do but there isn’t a
lot that is needed to be done. It is
quite common for the baby acne to appear around the two week mark. In most cases it will show up as small
whiteheads that are a little swollen and red.
The irritations are commonly found on the cheeks, chin, forehead and
sometimes the back. As a
teenager or an adult we can quite often blame the acne on hormones resulting in
very oily skin. However with the baby
acne there is no real idea as to the cause of it so that’s why there are no
real treatments for it. The comforting
thing is that it will usually not be around any longer than a few weeks before
it totally disappears. Many
people believe the baby acne is because of the baby spitting up or rubbing on
bedding that may have soap that they react to.
There is a simple fix for this and that’s change to a more gentle
soap. Also it never hurts to once in a
while wash the baby’s face with a warm damp cloth. |
