Neonatal Acne, or baby acne, can develop at birth or
within the first few weeks of life. They
can present as little red bumps that occur mainly on the cheeks and foreheads.
There is some thought that this could be due to exposure to maternal hormones
during pregnancy. Although distressing for most parents, this condition is
harmless and will generally resolve on its own. Until then, use a gentle
cleanser, like Cetaphil or Cerave to cleanse the skin. If still concerned, you
should always check with your medical provider.
