So the little guy is doing well but has come up with a major case of baby acne. At least that is what we think it is. BUT... it's all over his entire face and well into his scalp. It doesn't itch him and they aren't opening. He has white heads and red bumps/patches. Poor little boy. If he were trying to get a date, he wouldn't be very successful right now. I told him not to worry - if it persists when he's a teen, we'll get him Pro-Active. :) (Keeping a light heart!)
So has anyone else had the baby acne problem? I've been doing a lot of reading and it seems like there really isn't anything to do but wait. It's been here for a week now. According to several .org websites, it can last up to 3 months. Some natural-remedy websites suggest putting breast milk on the acne with a cotton ball or mixing honey & lemon and putting the paste on the affected areas for 30 minutes then wiping off with a warm washcloth. Have you tried any of these natural remedies? Did you just wait it out?
Since we are not 100% sure it is acne, I'll be calling the doctor tomorrow to make an appointment. He's due for his 1-month checkup this week anyway. Depending on what the triage nurse says, I may take him in early. We'll see... hopefully it doesn't put a damper on our Monday morning play date.
