Acne care for infants

Infants have the softest skin that can easily react to outside forces when exposed. Although it would be quite a rare occurrence for an infant to get acne, it’s not entirely impossible either. In any such case, as adults you should exercise immense precaution ever because your baby’s skin is extremely sensitive. However, acne in infants is rather temporary and there’s nothing for you to worry about. Use a bit of Baff Time on your infant’s acne-affected skin and you will see how it cools off your baby’s skin and help reduce the acne in no time!

Sometimes babies break out in acne immediately after birth. The best skin care products for acne in infants cannot be said to be any of the large variety and range of treatments being marketed for adults and teenagers.

Infantile and baby acne are generally not required to be treated except in exceptional cases. Newborns will frequently break out in acne but this condition left alone will usually fade away. These lesions are aggravated when the baby is uncomfortable, peevish or irritable and keeping your baby as cool, happy and comfortable as possible is one of the best ways to reduce and alleviate his suffering.

Whatever treatments may be recommended will most often be to soothe the itching and irritation, as the condition is not even scar forming. On occasion an over the counter product containing an ingredient like benzoyl peroxide may be suggested, but more often than not if any treatment is required at all a little solution of ionic colloidal silver or a dab of hydrocortisone ointment will be more than sufficient.

Acne that appears on an infant at birth is a different condition from ’infantile acne’ which habitually develops in or around the 3 rd or 4 th month. In this case even though pustules, comedones, yellow papules and black or whiteheads may surface, this ailment too will run its course and disappear by the time the baby is around a year old.

The emergence of acne in a new born infant, which is referred to as ‘neonatal acne’ is usually caused by the hormones that have passed through the placenta from the mother. If the condition does not subside on its own, you must consult a paediatrician or dermatologist to determine any other reasons for its persistence. These could include:

Genetic history
Early production of sex hormones
Caused by medications
Developmental abnormalities

In this case the best skin care products for acne in your baby must be prescribed by a professional, who will decide whether they are to be topical or even some form of oral acne treatment such as a mild antibiotic for severe cases.

The standard treatment procedure for babies and infants will consist of consistent therapy and regular gentle cleansing, followed by the application of a topical product. It has been said that the best treatment for this condition is patience. A typical case of infantile or baby acne will pass away on its own.
