I was wondering if any one else's baby has baby acne. My baby has had it for a week and a half now and I was wondering if there is anything I can do about it? I doesn't hurt her. I have read up on it and some people say wash it with soap some say just water some say do nothing.
Any advice?

Thanks, Jasmin

Jasmin

My five week old DD has baby acne.  The doctor said not to do anything but wash her face with water and it will go away on it's own.  It's a result of hormones that were passed from you to the baby, so there is nothing you can do to make it go away.  For whatever reason it tends not to show up until a few weeks after the baby is born.
