Baby acne: Baby acne is very similar in origin and distribution as that of a teenager. It arises from the hormones of pregnancy.The fetal waters moisturizes babies skin early, preventing its appearance for weeks.The face ; upper chest ; back are most often involved along with the shoulders . All the lesions seem to be a similar age ; gradually fade over time with no treatment.
