How do you treat baby acne on a 2 month old?

it is mainly on his forehead and cheeksHow do you treat baby acne on a 2 month old?
Clean the face gently, with minimal or no soap once a day at mostHow do you treat baby acne on a 2 month old?
I agree with the answer above, but you can also apply a very thin layer of Polysporin (just like neosporin, just less cases of allergic reactions) to where the little pimples are. Don;t worry- most babies get it, and it does go away!
I know, it looks horrible doesn't it? My baby had it until she was 3 months old. Don't touch it. Applying lotion does nothing for it. It will go away on it's own. If you try and pop them, this will cause scarring.
Just keep washing them with clean cotton wool and warm water. One of those things that could be milk spots or just them getting used to the 'outside world' rather than being in your sterilised environment of your tummy. It'll go by itself, just don't pick or touch it too much.
wash your baby's face with warm water two or three times a day and pat it dry. Don't use lotions, oils or other treatments. Never pinch or scrub baby acne. You may cause more irritation or an infection.
There is really nothing you can do for it, but wash with mild or no soap at all twice a day. And make sure it stays dry because wetness feeds it and causes it to get worse.


Good Luck!!!
My baby had acne till she was about 3 months old and it left on his own you just need to always keep it clean and also with the craddle cap just when you are giving your baby a bath you can go over it with a brush but gently and in no time it will be gone.
you don't. it's the hormones in his/her body settling and also from formula/breast milk. It will clear up itself, don't worry about it.
My son has the same thing he's 3 and half months now and had it almost since he was born. It comes and goes. Sometimes it gets better almost clears up completely other times it's red and bumpy. Doctor said there is no real medicine for it. It will go away in time. After his bath I apply a very light layer of ';fast-absorbing, hypoallergenic Aloe Vera %26amp; Vitamin E Baby Oil'; the Equate brand. That helps a little. I know it's frustrating when you try everything and it keeps coming back.
Most people say to just leave it alone, but I tried some vaseline on my 2 1/2 week old, and the acne was mostly gone within a week or so!
you don't. it will clear up on its own. just wash his little face with water, apply baby lotion if needed {cetaphil is a great one--no dyes or scents to irritate him}, and let it be.
The is no treatment for baby acne, it goes away on it's own. And over washing his face could end up drying his skin out or inflamation. So just don't worry about it
Never ever ever try to clear it up!!! Babies are born with it and it will go away all by itself. Just clean it like you clean the rest of his body.
