Baby Acne
by Garcelina Duvantes
When you see pimples on the chin of your baby you may wonder if it is acne, the answer is that it could very well be acne. Sometimes acne will be present as soon as the child is born or it may begin to develop very soon after birth. It looks about the same as adult or teenage acne.
There are those babies that get milia which consist of small white bumps on their chins, noses and cheeks. This is not acne and it usually follows the path of acne and clears up all by itself.Baby acne as well as milia usually goes away on its own with no treatment required, however there are those rare instances when acne stays around for quite a few months maybe even longer, in these cases doctors will usually prescribe a medicated treatment, do not use the regular acne products that are often sold in pharmacies. These are not for a baby's delicate skin and will do more harm than good.
Sometimes the irritation may look scaly or rashy this is call eczema so not mistake this for acne, heat rash can sometimes look like acne as well. Bay acne occurs due to hormones which the mother inadvertently passes to the child in the final trimester, these hormones may cause the mother to have acne as well. Be careful to watch the type of formula you give your baby as this as well as spit-up can cause your baby to get acne. Sometimes the blankets you use may be too rough and the chemicals in detergent may be harsh and once they rub against your babies skin the baby can get acne. Washing your baby's blankets in fabric softner will help to ensure that your baby's skin is protected from damage and irritation.
