A member asked:

My baby has a pimply rash on his face which has moved to his scalp and a little on the ears and neck. what should i do? i've been told it could be infant acne and i should wash him only in epizone and apply it on his face and not to bath him daily.

Probably: A baby floating in the slick moist environment of the womb will have pristine skin at birth.Between 2 wks and 2 months, more than half of infants will have transient baby acne triggered by the hormones that came across during pregnancy.I would keep it clean & allow it to run its course. If any sites are more inflamed or persistent, your doc should evaluate. It should fade completely by 3 mo.
