Its baby acne. my last bupper had it for about 2 months or so and it went away right after that. Her ped didnt seem to think it was abig proble, she said to just monitor it and it if got red, irritated, or just started to spread to other parts of her body then she would perscribe something for it.
Just dont over scrub it and dont use harsh lotions (if lotion at all) on his face. It should clear up on its own.

my doctor said most babies get it around a month old. It's from hormones kicking in. Before, you regulated them in the womb, now the baby's body has to produce its own. It goes away after a few weeks
I was breastfeeding so at first I thought it was a reaction to something I ate. Just ensure you wipe off the formula after eating, it can irritate the condition.

No, its normal.
All infants, or most, get infant acne or milk rash. Its simply caused by his regulating hormones. He's been sharing yours, and not really making his own until now. This causes his little face, and some times his chest and back, to break out.
Dont mess with it. It will clear up.
My son started in with it at about 3-4 weeks, and its just starting to clear up now at 8 weeks.

A lot of babies tend to have baby acne. Always remember don't apply lotion,soap or baby oil to the face this can cause the break outs.

No. This is a normal baby skin thing that happens to almost every baby on the planet at that age, it has nothing to do with what they eat. There's nothing you can do to speed it along; just try to resist the urge to pick at the pimples.

I would love to say yes, but it probably isn't.
Infant's get acne. Also make sure that you wipe off any spilled formula because bacteria feed on sugar.

Brew some dry rose petals and add to the bath water and let your baby soak in that for a bit (of course your gonna let it cool for a bit). It should work, Its one of those remedies, i don't know why but it works.

It could be from a zillion things. I wouldn't worry about it at all. It could be the air, the formula, the detergent, the fabrics, or just the baby's skin adjusting to new things. Talk to your pediatrician and see what he/she says.

That's called baby acne! Very common in young babies! As he gets older he'll grow out of it.
