Acne in babies

Tip: If you are seeing a
               dermatologist and are
               receiving prescriptions,
               make sure that your
               physician/dermatologist
               is aware of any current
               or past medical
               conditions.

Infantile acne generally affects the cheeks and some times the forehead and the chin of the baby.

This acne occurs in children aged one to six years.

It is more common in boys than girls and it is usually mild to moderate.

In most children it settles down within few months.

Like acne in adults the origin of infantile acne is to be hormonal.

The hormone is particularly the androgens of adrenal.

  Tip: Wash your pillowcase often, and always use
                clean face towels.
