BABY ACNE BY DR OR GEFEN
Baby acne? Yes, even babies can get acne!
But don't worry, it's common and harmless. Usually appearing in the first few months due to lingering hormones from the womb, baby acne generally appears as tiny bumps on your little one’s face- sometimes on their back or tush too.
-
While baby acne clears up on its own, there are ways to soothe irritation:
-
Monitor those bumps! Baby acne pimples tend to be similar in size, white-ish, and might turn red when their skin gets warmer, like during playtime or crying.
-
If unsure, consult your pediatrician to rule out other rashes.
-
Choose gentle products: Opt for products that gently balance moisture levels and avoid irritation. Oeight’s products have been developed to do exactly that using gentle yet active ingredients that are hypoallergenic and have been dermatologically tested. For example, in the bath, you can gently massage the irritated skin with water emulsified with bath oil.
-
Let their skin heal naturally: Help their skin's natural recovery with a soothing, gentle cream. On clean skin, we recommend gently applying Oeight’s Soothes and Protects Irritated Skin Forte Cream.
Remember, if the rash persists or spreads beyond the face, it's always best to consult your pediatrician for further guidance.
So take a deep breath, and let's work together to keep your little one feeling comfortable and happy.
