A member asked:

My new born baby girl is 2 weeks old, she is busy getting pimples in her face,,,she drinks breast milk only, i think its sour and not a heat rash, can we give her water or are we allowed to?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Patience: Baby acne is a common and temporary problem.It usually appears by age 2 weeks and disappears by 3 months. Keeping the skin clean is the major plan. If it persists after 3 months and or intensifies, some normal ace treatments can be beneficial, but the doc should look into unusual hormonal issues as a cause at that point. Water is okay but unnecessary. It won't change the skin issue.
