Can I pop the bumps on my babys face and neck?

No: You should never "pop" any bumps on your infant's skin. Doing so could introduce bacteria beneath the skin and lead to infection. Most bumps are normal and resolve with time, however if your child's pediatrician has not seen the bumps, they should be examined.

Yes: Wash less often. I think a lot of the dry skin problems people experience is because they wash all the essentials oils off their skin.
