A. Cetaphil Baby Daily Lotion Dr. Frieling advises against heavy lotions, creams, and ointments, as they can clog your babe's tiny pores and make the acne worse.Try using a mild soap designed for babies and a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizer to keep skin healthy and supple. Use a humidifier. Acne may be exacerbated by dry air, so using a humidifier can ensure that baby's skin stays moisturized, Baker says.If your baby's acne doesn't clear up after several months of home treatment, the doctor may recommend using a 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide lotion. In rare cases, they may also prescribe an antibiotic, such as erythromycin or isotretinoin, so that your baby doesn't have permanent scars.Clean your baby's face each day. Wash your baby's face daily with warm water. ...Dry your baby's face gently. Pat your baby's skin dry.Don't pinch or scrub the acne. You may cause more irritation or an infection.Avoid using lotions, ointments or oils.More than 30 percent of newborns develop baby acne of the face. Acne consists of small red bumps. This baby acne begins at 2 to 4 weeks of age. It lasts until 4 to 6 months of age.
