Baby acne is quite common and usually no treatment is necessary. It usually occurs between the ages of three to six months and goes away on its own. For more information checkout the following link. \n\nhttp://www.drgreene.com/21_1033.html\n\nMy oldest daughter had this at about 3-4 months of age. It lasted about 2 months, off and on, usually whenever I increased the strength of her formula. I found that if I filled her bottle with the formula, leaving room for one more ounce of plain water, it would go away within a few hours. I would do this for a few days until she got used to the richer mix.\n\nIf you are nursing, perhaps you need to eat a less rich diet yourself. You may be over doing it. Nursing mothers always worry that the baby is not getting enough nourishment. If she is fat and sassy you are doing okay!\n\nIf she is still having problems with this when it is time for her next checkup, discuss it with your doctor. If it gets worse and is causing distress for your baby, of course take her in for an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.\n\nHope this helps you out.

It sounds like psoriasis....have him use cetaphyl heavy cream or cetaphyl lotion on it. Also have him use the cetaphyl cleanser on those areas also instead of regular soap. Regular soap will make it worse. If that does'nt help after a couple of weeks he should go to a dermatologist.

when i get spots i use pure tea tree oil on them, wait for it to dry then rub in a small amount of sudocrem.  i do this upto three times a day, and it gets rid of them in double time. but make sure you go easy with the sudocrem, apply too much and it will give you a rash. also don't rub it all over your face as this gives you a rash too. just apply it to the actual spots. hope this helps

My daughter had lots of milia on her nose and chin when she was born. It took a while, but it went away on it's own. The doctor told me that it is normal in newborns. Since you're obviously not a newborn, you should maybe go to a dermatologist to see if there is anything you can use to get rid of it.

tell your niece to take a bath daily in hot water and vinegar (if acne on body) or wash her face daily with hot water and vinegar, this will clear her up and then she just needs to do it every so often to keep it clear

Some solutions that may help cure acne are already in your home.\n\n1. If a pimple appears, don't break it immediately.\n2. Before you go to bed, wash your face (liquid cleansers work the best and do not overdry your face).\n3. Pat dry.\n4. If you have any type of mint toothpaste, dab a little on your pimple.\n5. Cover the spot with a small band-aid.\n6. By morning, the swelling should go down and the redness should be almost gone.\n7. For extreme breakouts, there are many over the counter face cleansers. \n\n* All acne medications cause your skin to break out more than when you started because the cleansers are cleaning out your pores and bringing all the dirt and oil to the surface which in turn causes a massive break out. Give it about two weeks and you will notice a big difference in your skin.\n* Avoid eating lots of sugar as sugar causes outbreaks most of the time.\n* Drink lots of water. \n\n* Do not use too many different types of acne medication at the same time. It can cause more irritation and more acne than when you started.

Please, don't put her health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect her mind and body. She must consult her doctor or a dermatologist. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

You'll need to be more specific about what the bumps look like and where they are.  One very common skin problem is keratosis pilaris (KP), which causes red patches of bumpy skin.  I have it on my arms and thighs, which are common places to have it.  KP affects over 50% of people and is harmless, although it doesn't look very nice.  Often it shows up in children and some people do outgrow it, but many do not and there's no known cure for it.  If that's what your baby has, then it's completely harmless.  A doctor should be able to tell you if that's what it is.

1. Wash your face thoroughly with a mild soap such as cetaphil.\n2. Rinse with warm water.\n3. Apply a benzoyl peroxide topical cream, such as Clearasil, BP or On -The-Spot, to affected areas only. Homeopathic alternatives include tea tree oil, baking soda paste (mix with a little water, apply and let dry), and witch hazel.\n4. After topical treatment is dry, apply a basic face moisturizer, unscented is best.\n5. Once a week, use a kaolin-clay-based mask and let dry to pull impurities from your skin.\n6. Rinse with warm water, then exfoliate with a scrub such as Swiss Valley Apricot Scrub or Neutrogena 60-Second Mask/Scrub.\n7. Be sure to moisturize well after your weekly treatment. \n\n* 2.5% to 5% Benzoyl-Peroxide Solutions are sufficient; 10% or higher can irritate the skin and exacerbate the problem.\n* Moisturizing is an important daily step, don't skip the moisturizer just because you think your skin is oily. Regular moisturizing will help keep your skin pimple free.\n* Pimple-fighting concealer can also be used for protection all day.\n* Don't use rubbing alcohol. It will sting like crazy and dry and irritate your skin\n* Taking vitamins regularly can also help your skin.\n* Avoid smoking or taking immuno-suppressants (such as steroids)\n* Some foods, like garlic and onions, are thought to improve skin conditions. \n\n* DON'T TOUCH: When you get a pimple, imagine that there is police tape around it. Your pimple is off limits to touch. The oils from your hands will make it harder for it to go away. Do NOT pop it. This will spread the bacteria (causing more pimples on other areas of your face) and may leave a scar (whether you use your fingernails or not). In general, don't touch your face unless you are actively washing it!\n* While you should always discuss any helth issues with your doctor, it's especially important to consult a dermatologist if your acne affects more than 30% of your skin, if breakouts increase after beginning treatment, or if you experience scarring.\n* When you start the treatment, your acne might appear to flare for a week or two, as your skin gets used to the new routine and impurities are drawn from your pores.

I would try aloe. There are products in the baby aisle used to treat the same problem and would work for adults as well.\n Otherwise you just have to wait it out and stay out of the sun.

Wash face, use toner, use all-over treatment, use spot-treatment; respectively. Twice a day. If it is moderate or worse (not mild) then go to a dermatologist who will give you pills. And don't touch your face ever

My little boy went through this about a year ago so I feel your pain! I bought a treatment over the internet called Zymaderm from www.cbrmed.org. It's an all natural treatment made from tea tree oil,iodine and something else(I'm at a loss at the moment) It took a week or so to get the oil, but it worked wonders on my son! I put it on him once a day. Usually right before bed. After only 2 weeks, all of his bumps were gone! He had around 100 of these things on his chest. If I remember right, I paid around 38 bucks for the oil, but I promise you it's worth every penny. It will stop the spread of the bumps and it's much less painful than having them removed by the doctor. He's only got a couple of scars from the bumps, they were caused not by the oil but by the ones that were removed by the dermatologist. Trust me, from one mommy to another, try the Zymaderm. On the website, you can chat with someone and they'll answer all your questions. It was the best 38 bucks I've ever spent. My son is bump free now and there's no sign of them coming back. Please email me if you need any help. I know what your going through and how frustrating it is.

Our pediatrician suggested Crisco. It works! Helps w/ rashes, too. I was pleasantly surprised.
