The best cure for baby acne is kisses.  Lots of kisses.  Just keep up those kisses, and before you know it, it'll clear right up. 

 

The good news is that they will definitely go away on their own, so no worries!


Allergic Causes

Don't worry about this acne leaving any lasting marks. Once the pores clear up, they go back to normal without scarring or leaving any red marks. If your child's skin is sensitive to the laundry soap you use, a little redness or acne might appear on his face. Try washing his clothes in laundry detergent designed especially for infants and remember never to use fabric softener until your child is at least 18 months old.

 

 

Ways to treat:
Aquaphor works wonders!  After trying everything putting Aquaphor on the cheeks virtually cleared it right up.  Try it; it's very mild.
