I have a 1 month old son and his acne is very bad, i was told that dove soap for sensitive skin was okay, i'm not sure if thats true or false?

It works well: Baby acne is a transient process that lasts for weeks to months & seems to stabilize with mild soaps like dove. A mild 1/2% cortisone cream no more than once daily can calm down the most irritated areas.
