Dr. Prakash Bhoopalam answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Unusual!: Acne is common in newborns and adolescents and teens . I would have the child seen by a pediatrician first , sometimes medications and other times hormonal problem can cause acne. First make sure it is not something else. It may not be acne.
