Keep Baby Face Clean

Baby acne looks like small red bumps on the chin, cheeks and forehead. The redness will be more noticeable when the baby is too hot or when he/she has been crying for a while.

One of the main things to remember when treating baby acne is that you should never use acne products on the baby’s skin. The only thing you can do is make sure you keep the baby’s face washed using a mild soap and soft washcloths. When babies drink milk from the bottle or nurse at the mother’s breast, milk can drip from their mouths and if it is not wiped clean, acne could develop around the mouth and chin. The combination or milk and saliva can make the condition worse.
