POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. Never put acne medicine or acne wash on your baby's skin, unless your child's dermatologist or pediatrician recommends it. Be very gentle with your baby's skin, and avoid scrubbing the acne. Wash your baby's skin with lukewarm (not hot) water. Stop using any oily or greasy skin care products.Don't squeeze, pick or scrub acne.Cleanse the area with warm water two times a day. ... Don't use soap or lotion on affected areas.Avoid acne or other skin care products meant for adults.Newborn acne or pimples can break out on the baby's face, usually around 2 to 3 weeks old. The cause is unknown, but it seems to be linked to maternal hormones that pass from the placenta to the baby during pregnancy. The acne may worsen by 1 month old, but generally goes away without treatment.
