Baby Acne
by: Baby Help Line (Paula)

Hi Amy,

It sounds to me as if your baby has had some baby acne. This is normal and common and heals without treatment.

Now, why your baby has dry skin on his face could either be normal shedding of skin that babies do when newborn or maybe dry air and/or cold air eczema. This is common during cold winter months ans treated with a lot of baby lotion and in severe cases mild hydrocortisone. The latter should however not be used without a valuation by a pediatrician.

My suggestion is that you bring up the question at your son's next health checkup if that is at any time soon. Otherwise book a separate appointment with his doctor or health nurse and let them have a look at his skin.

Look at other options too

Maybe you should look at any other symptoms. Is your baby fussy at all after you feed him or her 30 to 2 hours after feeding?

My baby had a face rash as well and started as pimples and then turned into dry skin with pimple like things. The doctors kept telling me he had Eczema, and even gave me a cream. But it was not that at all, he was allergic to milk!

I took him off milk based formula and stopped breastfeeding and it was a like day and night. My baby stopped crying, slept 6 hours straight, and his face cleared up! It was amazing. You should look at other options before they tell you it is Eczema because other things besides the weather can cause it.
