Question 2

acne like spots on my babys face?

Accepted Answer

Neonatal Acne: This is very common and resolves on its own.  Neonatal acne (birth - 3 months of life) is a reaction to malassezia yeast as well as the maternal hormones in-utero. This all resolves spontaneously by month 3 of life.  Infantile acne (3 - 6months of life) is a bit more complicated but can be treated. However, you should see your pediatrician for help with this.

If topicals don't work, then turn to your doctor to get a procedure such as lasers (noninvasive lasers work best on pigment with less side-effects), ipl, chemical peel, glycolic  or salicylic acid peel, microdermabrasion.

Question 5

what helps get rid of dark spots from acne?

Accepted Answer

Time: They fade by themselves in a few weeks.

Acne Spots: Acne is the result of hormonal changes, particularly in adolescence. You can prevent them by eliminating nuts and peanut butter, stopping chocolate; cuting down on dairy products. Wash with neutrogena acne wash; apply a bpo (benzoyl peroxide) cream or lotion -- something like clearasil -- on the affected areas at night. If it persists, see a dermatologist who may prescribe an antibiotic for you.
