We were just trying to wash a lot and keep him clean but it kept getting worse. Finally we took him for a regular checkup and the Dr told us to put hydrocortisone cream on it. Basically, don't assume it will go away in its own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446624 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 16:14:34 +0000 travellingbee 2446624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: that;s awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446596 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 16:02:18 +0000 Pumuckl 2446596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: yeah it was bad but I don't recall it lasting weeks.<br /> Concerning your diet change: I remember my doc telling me that a change in diet wouldn't be noticed until 2 weeks or so, so maybe your lucky and it's only diary? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446588 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:59:41 +0000 ladybee 2446588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I agree, that kinda looks allergy related. When our son was MSPI (has grown out of both allergies thankfully) our dietician recommended an app called Scanavert. You make a profile with what you are avoiding, scan bar codes, and it'll tell you if you can eat it or not. Sometimes, it'll recommend a substitute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446577 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:54:30 +0000 Hoots 2446577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has that. Our ped said DD's looked more eczema related. I started washing her face and using the aveeno moisturizer and it's a lot better. I was worried about dairy as well because she had a few days of green stools that looked like it had a bit of mucous. Interestingly, those seem to coincide with her silent reflux symptoms and if she doesn't get her zantac exactly on schedule. She still gets eczema flare ups when she gets sweaty or lays against different textures when sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446560 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:41:06 +0000 travellingbee 2446560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Golden: I do like plain almond milk so I'm good there. It's all the packaged foods and baked goods I have issues with. I hate having to limit my diet so much. :(</p> <p>ETA: yeah, I did do it with my DS1 so I remember. I just hated doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446559 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:40:35 +0000 Golden 2446559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: you'll have to look up a list of all the hidden names for dairy. It's tricky at first but totally doable. Modified milk ingredients are in almost all packaged foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446556 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:39:12 +0000 Golden 2446556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One more thing. cashew milk is a great sub. I use Silk brand but it's all I will put n my coffee now and I can actually drink a glass of it which is not the case for so many other substitutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446554 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:37:25 +0000 travellingbee 2446554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Golden: What's modified milk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446553 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:36:54 +0000 Golden 2446553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry. It sucks. But that's what it looks like to me.<br /> eta. He'll feel soooo much better too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446552 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:36:47 +0000 travellingbee 2446552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Golden: Oh yes stuffiness too but I thought he'd had a cold. Hmmm... I go to the doctor on thursday. I guess I can ask more then. Until then, I suppose I ought to try to cut it all out. Boo.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446550 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:35:52 +0000 Golden 2446550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like it's time to get more serious. All dairy all soy. My son cleared up within a few days. The difference is incredible. No cassin, no modified milk and no soy. That's an allergy for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446545 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:32:59 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2446545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could be mspi... It was the first symptom for my LO, the green and bloody diaper followed a week later. Never had any reflux. Hope little dude gets better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446544 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:32:41 +0000 travellingbee 2446544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Golden: Oh. :( He has had green poo. Some mucus in his poop and spit up/lots of gas. My first son had copious amounts of spit up and I had to go off dairy. I never saw a rash with him though. When I saw the mucus in this LO's poop I went off overt dairy but haven't been super good at looking at labels etc. Just cut creamer, milk, cheese and yogurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446539 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:30:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2446539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>G's acne looks like that when she gets worked up. So if she's been crying it can look like that. At clearing up now at almost 7 weeks but that's exactly what it looked like. The ped saw it and just mentioned that it was acne. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446537 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:30:19 +0000 Golden 2446537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any othersymptoms? Looks like it could be MPSI allergy but only if you're noticing other symptoms like stuffy nose, lots of spit up, green poo, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446528 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:23:56 +0000 travellingbee 2446528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: is this what it looked like? was it this bad? Hes had it for 2 weeks already... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446525 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:21:06 +0000 Pumuckl 2446525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine both got baby/newborn acne around this time too. It cleared up on its own within a couple of days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446515 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:14:48 +0000 travellingbee 2446515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p> [attach=3175/16/o1xs8o.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-or-rash#post-2446508 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:12:43 +0000 travellingbee 2446508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 week old has this terrible "acne" but now I'm wondering if it's a rash. I wash clothes in free and clear 7th generation detergent and use mild baby soap when I bathe him (which isn't often- every few days or so). But I did start wearing a new perfume and was wondering if that could be it? It's a very angry rash on cheeks, chin, chest and back. </p> [attach=3175/16/o1xs57.450x600.image.jpg]
