    One of my daughters has baby acne / milk bumps covering her face, ears, neck, head, and top of her chest. Any one else have a similar experience? Could it be anything other than baby acne? Did you put anything on it ... lotions?

    Ours had baby acne during the first months. I think they got it at 3-4 weeks and it seemed like forever before it went away - which was really like 6 weeks. We kept the area clean, but didn't really put anything on it. If the skin got dry, then we put a small amount of baby oil or petrolium jelly. If it gets real bad, I'd suggest calling the pedi just to make sure.

    It Will go away and will soon be just a memory.

    Mine had it a little, I didn't do anything for it that I remember. If it gets too bad I would call the pedi.

    My daughter had this really bad. It would not go away. The doctor prescribed Topicort and in one day it was gone. We also changed her milk to Hypoallergenic. At first he thought it was baby acne, but then he realized it was ezcema. She is doing alot better now, but still has flare ups now and again.

    Almost all of my kids experienced baby acne. I heard it's from the mother's hormones leaving their little systems. For the twins, I put cod liver oil on the bottom of their feet covered with socks. I also tried to keep their faces clean using a colloidal silver. It still took 4-6 weeks to really clear, but they were the first of my kids not to show any scars. Two of my boys you can still see the scars from their baby acne.

    my DS had terrible baby acne, face, neck, chest and back but the worst was on his little cheeks. i found that if i wiped it gently with a cool washcloth a couple times a day and put aveeno soothing relief moisture cream on it it really helped. after i started doing that it resolved in 4-5 days and hasn't come back since.
