Baby Acne I think.

[jellybean]

My Jack has had what I think is baby acne for a couple of weeks now. They are very small bumps, and some not as small bumps all over his face. Just this week it seems to have been getting worse. It is now all over his face, ears, and some one his head and neck. I called my dr. and she thought he might just have sensitive skin and told me to use cetaphil a couple of times a day and to change to "free" or baby detergent. She also asked me if it looked like there was fluid in the bumps? I didn't think so but now I am starting to question if there is or not. Anyone have any advice? How do I know if there is fluid in the bumps? Any of your experience's with this would be great too! Thank you!!

That sound just like my son's. He kept getting *baby acne* off and on for the first 1-2 months. I quit my dieting and started eating more food and the bumps went wild! Some were more like welts. It ended up being a Food Allergy.

Are you Breast Feeding or using formula?
How old is your baby?

You may want to try eliminating all dairy if you are BF or switching to a dif't formula (ie: milk based to soy based).

Hi,
Rashes are so weird that I always suggest taking your baby to your ped.

Hi,
I suggest you go to your local drugstore and get some Cetaphil, it works great on baby acne!! Although the best thing is to just leave it alone!!

Thanks
