About 20% of all infants suffer short acne outbreaks which usually occur about two weeks after birth. The duration usually lasts for a few weeks to 3 months. There are many causes of baby acne. The main causes are the hormone production and the sebaceous glands activation. There are indications that mother's lingering hormones may be the cause. In most baby acne cases, the outbreaks are minor and seldom last beyond 12 weeks.
Other causes include the mother's diet during pregnancy or nursing. While diet triggers acne outbreaks, acne affects adults due to genetic, stress, and dead skin cells accumulation. The adults and adolescents acne causes are well documented to be unlikely due to certain foods. This dampens the theory of baby acne cause.
Baby Cradle Sheets
Usually, baby acne appears on the cheeks. They are like pimples which also appear on the neck and chin. Keeping the baby's skin clean is the most important that any new parent can do to help clear up the acne of the baby.
Prevent Harsh Treatment Of The Baby's Skin
Is your newborn suffering from baby acne? Do not use over-the-counter acne medication on the baby. In most cases, the acne will clear on its own. Also avoid the use of creams and oils and on the baby as they can worsen the problem, and thus slow down the whole healing process.
If the condition lasts more than three months, consult a pediatrician to determine if the pimples are actually caused by baby acne or something else. Eczema and cradle cap sometimes appear as acne, and thereby causing confusion among new parents.
The baby's skin can become irritated by other foods and regurgitated milk that are not wiped away properly and remains on the skin. Rough clothing irritates the affected area as well. Doctors may prescribe low-dose antibiotics in certain cases. Parents should not be too overly concerned about the appearance of the few pimples on the newborn's face. They should be more concerned about the infant's overall health.
