You should not be alarmed when you notice acne on your newborn’s face. This condition is quite common but it does need attention as soon as you discover it to help the baby feel comfortable. It does not mean that you baby will have acne throughout his/her life and there is no need to make an appointment with your baby doctor.
A baby with acne can be very fussy, keeping you up at night even though you know the baby has been fed, burped and changed. The first signs of baby acne usually develop at the age of two weeks and can occur at any time in the first four or five months. Unlike teenage and adult acne it is not persistent, meaning it can clear up for a while and redevelop.
