Bumpy face:-/

I've Googled like crazy so I'm guessing it's just baby acne. However I'm so paranoid, & I hate seeing my beautiful 1month look less than perfect. Any sxperience ladies??

@-) Relax. Seriously, what a silly statement.

You can treat baby acne (and adult acne) with breast milk.

Thank u I'll give it a try & see what happens by Monday.

My son had baby acne for the fist month, it goes away on it's own. He's 6 weeks now and it's pretty much gone. I just kept his face clean by simply washing his face with warm water a few times a day, or if he got any formula on his face I made sure to clean it right away. I know I was frustrated too, he was peppered with pimples and I felt so bad, the baby doesn't care though! Good luck

It's just beginning to be an issue for my baby, and she's just over 10w old... In addition to this she has eczema! YAY!

we're doing a combo of moisturizing and the doctor called in a script for her. But I second the breastmilk--I've read it can cure all sorts of ailments.

Mine is almost 7 weeks and we just discovered that he also has eczema.. Poor sweet baby skin! Agree with the breastmilk idea though.. it's a miracle cure-all!

My son had pretty significant baby acne. He's almost 7 weeks old now and his face looks MUCH better. Still a few bumps here and there. Just wash your baby's face at bath time. And your baby is perfect, regardless of bumps!

Mariposa1616 · April 2014

Thank u her face appears worse now, almost like a burn. The bumps now have a scab head instead of a white head/red head. I've been using the breast milk solution too, so tomorrow I'll definitely take my baby to see a Dr.

& FYI @WashingtonQueen‌ my beautiful baby less than perfect statement is whimsical, not silly. No parent wants to see there child look like they are in pain. & I can't imagine pretending that a face covered in bumps or red is what we want our perfect babies to look.

It was a rather silly statement. No newborn looks perfect. Basic baby acne is not painful.

Mariposa1616 · April 2014

Agree to disagree, speak for yourself because I think all newborns are perfect & most do look perfect, well mine does. I took her to the doctors today so with treatment she should be back to her wonderfully, adorable, perfect self:-)

@Mariposa1616 I hope your LOs face is already getting better by the time you read this... what did the doc say? My DS had a terrible drool rash.... after 2 days, it got really red and looked scabbed over. Doc had us put hydrocortisone on it followed by a layer of aquafor. We saw improvements in a couple of days and it was completely gone in about a week. GL!

Thank u @flcl I was told it is a case of baby acne gone awry. So I was told to use hydrocortisone & aquaphor as well. It has improved tremendously, now I hope her color comes back because as of now her skin is blotchy & it looks as if she was burned once or has vertigo:-(

Baby acne goes away on it's on after a few weeks. Your baby is not less than perfect--it's normal.

Vertigo? That's the sensation of being dizzy....

Oops not vertigo I meant vitiligo:-), sorry about that
