A. Yes, it is normal for babies to get acne on their cheeks, forehead, and nose during the first few weeks after birth. These are known as neonatal acne or baby acne. It is caused by the hormones that pass from the mother to the baby during the final stages of pregnancy. In most cases, the acne goes away on its own within a few months without any medical treatment. However, you should avoid using any creams, lotions, or oils on your baby's face that may irritate the skin or worsen the acne. You should also avoid picking at the acne as this can cause scarring or an infection. If the acne seems to be getting worse or your baby develops other signs of skin irritation, such as redness, itching, or a rash, you should consult with your pediatrician.

A. Hello dear parent! Without proper physical examination it is not possible to understand the symptoms. Get your baby personally examined by the doctor and seek further advice. Maintain a good personal hygiene. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil
