Key Takeaways

Baby acne is a common skin condition that affects around 20% of newborn babies, causing small bumps on the face and neck. While it may be concerning for parents to see spots and pimples on their baby's delicate skin, baby acne is usually harmless and resolves after a few weeks, leaving no scars.

Continue reading for a more detailed overview of baby acne with causes, symptoms and natural remedies explained.

What is Baby Acne?

Baby acne, also called newborn acne or neonatal acne, is a skin condition that causes blemishes on a baby's face, neck, and sometimes chest. It may present as small bumps, pimples, and/or pustules. This condition is harmless and generally occurs between 2 to 4 weeks after birth, although some babies may be born with it.

Note: Baby acne should not be confused with infantile acne, which usually develops in babies between 3 and 12 months old. It is also not the same as milia (tiny white bumps on the nose, chin or chest) or regular rashes.

\n\n

How Common is Baby Acne?

Baby acne is relatively common, affecting around 20% of all newborns.

\n\n

How Long Does Baby Acne Last?

Baby acne is temporary and usually clears up naturally after a few weeks.

\n\n

Symptoms of Baby Acne

Here are some of the most common baby acne symptoms to look out for.

\nAge: Typically affects babies under 2 months old.
\nAppearance: Usually appears as tiny, inflamed red bumps, pimples or pustules.
\nLocation: Commonly found on the nose, cheeks, forehead, chin, or even the chest.
\nSkin Texture: The affected skin may look red, rough, and bumpy.
\nTriggers: The acne may become more noticeable when the baby is hot, crying, or fussy.

\n\n

What Causes Baby Acne?

Unlike acne affecting teenagers and adults, there is no definite answer for what causes baby acne. However, there are several factors which may influence it.

1. Hormonal Changes

During pregnancy, a mother's hormones naturally pass through the placenta to the baby. These hormones help with important development, like lung maturation, but can also stimulate the baby's sebaceous (oil) glands. This leads to extra sebum production which can result in baby acne.

After pregnancy, similar hormones may also be passed through breastmilk.

2. Inflammation

Increased sebum (oil) production can cause overgrowth of a type of yeast that commonly lives on the skin. This can result in inflammation, which triggers baby acne.

3. External Irritants

Babies' skin is very sensitive and can be irritated by several external factors, including:

Saliva or dribbled milk sitting on the skin
Harsh detergents or fabric softeners used on clothing and bedding
Excessive heat or friction

All of these can clog pores or irritate the skin, potentially triggering the appearance of baby acne.

\n\n

Baby Acne Treatment Options

The good news is that baby acne usually resolves on its own within a few weeks and doesn't leave any scars. However, certain natural remedies and newborn skincare practices may help this process.

\n\n

Baby Skincare Tips

Here are some simple steps to help you care for your baby's skin.

1. Gentle Cleansing

Wash your baby's face gently with water and a mild, natural soap once a day.
Pat the skin dry - do not scrub or use vigorous motions.
Avoid using moisturizers, creams, or lotions unless advised by your pediatrician.

2. Avoid Irritants

Change to natural, fragrance-free detergents and fabric softeners for all clothing and bedding.
Wipe away any spit-up or milk promptly to avoid clogging the skin's pores.

3. Don't Overdo Skincare

Excessive cleaning or picking at blemishes can make baby acne worse.
Do not use harsh acne products designed for teens or adults on a baby's sensitive skin.

\n\n

When to Call the Pediatrician for Baby Acne

One of the most common queries parents have is when to worry about baby acne. Although this condition is typically harmless, you should consult your pediatrician for advice if:

You are unsure whether your baby's blemishes are actually baby acne.
Your baby's acne is persistent (lasting several weeks).
Your baby develops peeling skin or blisters.
Your baby experiences other symptoms such as fever or difficulty feeding.

\n\n

Baby Acne: Frequently Asked Questions

How is baby acne treated?

Baby acne is temporary and generally goes away after a few weeks. However, in some cases, a pediatrician or dermatologist may prescribe medication such as a topical cream or antibiotic.

Is baby acne the same as regular acne?

No. Although it may look similar, baby acne is different from regular acne, which affects teenagers and adults. Baby acne also does not cause blackheads or whiteheads.

What is the difference between baby acne vs milia?

Milia, also called milk spots, are small white bumps commonly found on newborns' noses, cheeks and chins. In general, milia are firmer than baby acne and look white or yellowish rather than pink or red.
