My almost 4 month old daughter is beginning to break out in little red spots on her forehead. I remember her getting baby acne when she was about a month or so but it was all over her face, not just one area. Last time I called the Pediatrician for this they said to take a wet wash cloth and blot her face with it a couple of times and it'll clear up (it took another month but it did finally clear up). Can baby acne come back? What age does it usually stop? I can't tell if this is acne or possibly a rash.

This looks as it sounds, like tiny acne whiteheads surrounded by a small amount of bright red skin. The acne is usually limited to the face, but occasionally appears as low as on the upper chest and shoulders. They usually appear from 2 to 4 weeks, are worst from 6 to 12 weeks and disappear by 3 to 5 months of age. They acne is often more pronounced in breast fed babies, requires no treatment and will not scar. If you want to make this look better for pictures, you may put a very small amount of hydrocortisone ( over the counter, Cortaid 5 ) on the acne twice a day for 1 to 2 days. Do not use the hydrocortisone more than twice a day or more than 2 days.

It sounds like a reaction to something. Have you recently tried feeding her something new? Or it could be eczema, which is the equivalent of extremely dry skin....call the pediatrician again! Have her tested! As far as blotting her face with a wet cloth? That is not very good advice at all. Maybe you should switch doctors.

My daughter's infant acne came back a couple of times. Check with your pediatrician again though.

She might be allergic to a lotion or a soap. You might want to alternate. You should check with a different pediatrician because they could give u more info then that!

It sounds like heat rash, a cool bath, and wash clothes will help.
