Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Baby Acne

How long did your baby's acne last? My DD started getting it at 6 weeks. It appears to clear up and then come back. Is there anything special to make it go away for good or does it just take time?

  • It was really bad 4 - 6 weeks.  Now he just has a few pimples here or there.  Just clean it with soap and water as you normally would at bathtime.  It's from hormone changes so scrubbing at it won't do anything.

  • DS still has it and he's 4 1/2 months old. Our Ped didn't act like it was an issue.
  • DD had it from weeks 4-7.  We didn't do anything special for it.  Pedi told us to leave it alone and that it would go away on its own.
