POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. It's quite common for newborns, especially around one month, to develop small pimples or rashes on their face and neck, often referred to as baby acne or milia. These pimples are typically caused by the transfer of hormones from the mother during pregnancy, which can stimulate the oil glands in the baby's skin. Another possibility is heat rash, which can occur if the baby is dressed too warmly or is exposed to hot, humid conditions.
In most cases, these pimples are harmless and will resolve on their own within a few weeks. To help soothe your baby, you can gently wash her face and neck with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free baby soap. Avoid using any harsh skincare products or creams, as they may irritate her delicate skin further. Make sure to keep the baby’s skin clean and dry, and dress her in loose, breathable clothing to prevent heat buildup. If the pimples don’t improve after a few weeks, or if they worsen, it's a good idea to consult your pediatrician for advice and to rule out any other conditions.
