Baby Acne TreatmentGiven birth to a child is the best gift God has ever given to any woman!!! As rightly said, baby’s face is the innocent face, but suddenly you see small red pimples appearing on their cheeks. These are called baby acne. Acne in babies begins with small red spots in the form of pimples. You may be surprised to see that sometimes these pimples clear out automatically, whereas sometimes these really show up on their face, because the severity of baby acne directly depends on the mood and state of mind of baby. If a baby is constantly crying for hours, or is upset, or hungry, or irritated, the acne really breaks out in full. Baby acne is common. It may be caused due to mother’s hormone level as while giving birth the hormones are allowed to pass through the placenta to the baby of a period of time. Now these hormones stimulate the production of the oil and increase the level of oil in the skin which results to baby Acne. Sometimes due to the withdrawal of maternal hormones after delivery also leads to acne. The boys are likely to have more acne than girls. And you can forget about the scars totally as they disappear automatically. Never should you use any kind of products for their skin as they are very sensitive, herbal or organic. Doctor’s might advice you to wash your baby’s face with fresh water or very mild soap. It usually takes five to six months to disappear. But if you see it’s taking time, please visit your doctor. Make sure baby’s clothes like the towels, bibs, socks and other clothes are carefully washed so that there’s no soap or detergent left on them. Sometimes soaps also play some roles for the acne. Keep your baby clean so that he or she is not getting irritated with saliva or milk which is falling or aggravating the acne. The recovery of the acne largely depends on your baby’s mood. Also do not panic and start looking for medication to cure acne as sometimes even after using oils or creams and proper medication, the rashes don’t disappear. But it may further add to more acne. Extra care has to be taken during winter season by the mother’s. Make sure that the baby’s skin has space to breathe. The blankets or sweaters should not touch the affected area. Do not use lotions or oils on the skin which again might add to more acne. While clean the face, dab the towel very slowly on the skin without hurting the acne and making it worse. There are natural products which are on the market like baby washes and lotions which are natural products and made specially to treat baby acne instead buying the daily products as your baby’s skin is very sensitive. Also, Milia – white bumps on your baby’s nose or chin are different from baby acne and can be cured faster than baby acne and not common like acne. |
