My baby is 4 weeks old and has had acne on his cheeks, nose, and forehead for a couple of weeks now. Is this normal? How do I treat it? Not gonna lie, I'm starting to get worried!

Yes, it’s totally normal! It usually lasts for a month or so, hang in there. I know it’s awful but it is a sign that you have a growing baby, which is great!!Chenoa posted February 10, 2020
I read on a blog that some moms think the pimples look less irritated when breastmilk is applied. Haven’t tried it yet but definitely going to.Amina posted February 11, 2020

First I hate to say t his but try not to allow people to kiss your baby. I know that seems a little harsh but all your acne spots are kissing spots. I got that little tip from one of the older women at church when I had my first baby. Try A&D ointmentDeborah posted February 19, 2020
The baby skin is Sensitive don’t use oils or perfumes. My daughter had the same condition as a newborn.Bethany posted May 1, 2020
just gently wipe with a cool washcloth. DONT POP THEM. Also more frequent bath time may help.
