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.

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!

@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.

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.

@travellingbee: yeah it was bad but I don't recall it lasting weeks.
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?

Though the poop may make this different, but DS had that and it was acne but it did NOT go away on its own. 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!
