In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains baby acne (aka new-born acne, neonatal acne or neonatal cephalic pustulosis).
Baby acne is a common skin condition that affects newborns. Some babies are born with pimples or blemishes on their skin and some babies develop acne in their first few weeks of life. Baby acne is harmless and usually goes away on its own without treatment.
Baby acne is different from infantile acne:
"While both conditions have the same symptoms, the difference between baby acne and infantile acne is when it affects your child. Baby acne occurs on average around 2 weeks of age. Some babies are born with acne and it goes away within weeks. Infantile acne occurs between 2 months to 1 year. Symptoms of infantile acne can reach beyond pustules and bumps to include blackheads. If your child gets acne after 2 months of age, visit a healthcare provider. It may take longer for infantile acne to clear up."
