Anyone have any in house tips to help clear up newborn acne? Trying a tad bit of baby powder on area every day ..so far no results. Lo is 19 days old
-
My LO had it for about 4 weeks when she was a newborn. Nothing helped, and it just had to clear on it's own. We just made sure not to rub it, and to pat it dry for baths, so it didn't get irritated. I know it sucks and looks horrible, but it will go away!
-
I didn't do anything with both of my boys and they went away. It's usually temporary but can't remember how long it took though.
-
Leave it alone and it will go away on its own in a couple weeks.
-
Agree on leaving it alone. It'll go away eventually. Just needs to run its course out of their system.
-
We left it alone and it wemt away after four weeks
-
I wiped his face (gently) with a wet washcloth once or twice a day and sometimes put a little breastmilk on the bumps. The milk might have helped a little but it was mostly time And leaving it alone.

Just leave it alone, it will clear on it's own. I can't imagine baby powder would help, I'm fairly sure that's an old wives tale. It's just from post-birth hormones, totally normal. Just make sure you're keeping baby's face clean.

Thanks all

Breast milk (if you are breastfeeding). LO had really bad acne that became very dry/flaky and seemed to bother him. I would express a little BM after every feed and gently rub it on his face. His face cleared up in a couple days!

I just wiped her face with a damp cloth here and there - I'd say her's lasted maybe 2-3 weeks.
-
I just left it alone, besides a quick wipe in her bath. Both girls had it and it cleared up in 2-4 weeks.
-
We didn't do anything, and it was cleared up by 3-4 weeks.
-
Doc said totally normal, do nothing and will clear up on its own- it did!
-
It went away after about a mouth. We did nothing to help it.
-
LO had this and I think it cleared up in a month or so...we didn't do anything for it.
-
I rub on a little breastmilk and also wash his face with a warm wet washcloth.
