A. Newborns often develop baby acne or milk rashes, which appear as small red or white pimples on the face and body. This is common in newborns due to hormonal changes, heat, or skin sensitivity, and it usually resolves on its own. What You Can Do: ✅ Keep the Skin Clean – Wash with plain lukewarm water and a mild baby soap (once daily). ✅ Use Breast Milk – Dabbing a little breast milk on the affected areas can help soothe the skin. ✅ Avoid Oily or Harsh Creams – Do not use lotions, oils, or powders that may clog pores. ✅ Dress in Light Cotton Clothes – Avoid overheating; keep baby’s skin breathable. ✅ Maintain Hygiene – Wash baby’s clothes with mild, fragrance-free detergent. What to Apply (If Needed): Coconut Oil (only if the skin is dry, but avoid overuse). Aloe Vera Gel (pure, without additives, for cooling effect). Calamine Lotion (only if prescribed by a doctor for irritation). Baby acne usually clears up within a few weeks without treatment. However, if the pimples spread, have pus, or baby seems uncomfortable, consult a pediatrician to rule out infections or allergies.
