Answer 1

Baby acne is common and nothing to worry about. It usualyy goes away in a few weeks. Don't over wash her face,  once or twice a day is enough and pat it dry. Please don't use oils, creams and especially hydrocortisone. My 2 year old grandaughter and 3 year old grandson both get eczema on their faces. One lives in Oz, the other Dunedin. Both their Doctors have stated you must NOT use hydrocortisone on faces.

Welcome to your wee girl and congratulations. Perhaps in another question you might say what her name is.

Answer 2

My baby girl got this as well. Its a hormonal thing and will go as quick as she got it. The baby's sweat glands are still developing on the face, so when the baby needs to release heat, their hair will get wet and get this rash on their face. You'll find her rash gets worse when she is hot. Don't worry, but if you are still concerned have a chat to your child and maternal health nurse.

good luck and enjoy your little bundle of joy

Answer 3

she probably has baby acne. Most babies get this.

and all you can really do is wait it out til it goes away. Dont worry its normal.

is it irritating her at all?

Answer 4

my daughter had this too where it looks like more than just baby acne. The doctor said  baby acne should have white heads but that this was just dry/sensitive skin and to use Aveeno Baby Wash for Eczema because its even more gentle and moisturizing, and to put hydrocortizone 1% or Resinol cream on it. Resinol is a MIRACLE but I have had to special order it from stores like Walgreen's, longs, cvs..it only takes a day to get in though. The cream products are really good for diaper rash also. But it probably isn't bother her as much as it does you!
