My babys baby acne is spreading on her body .. starting to look like chickenpox. .. help! (4 wks old)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unusual: It would be uncommon for it NOT to spread. While baby floated in the fetal waters, it had a different skin environment. Now that it is outside & faces drying air and occasional washing the changes brought by pregnancy hormones come out. It usually starts at a week, peaks around 4-6 and begins to fade by 8-10. Keep it clean & it will pass.
