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.

Avoid face soap: Avoid soap on the face, apply the moisturizer three times daily and if there redness,swelling or drainage,please see your pediatrician right away. Most likely the dry skin patcwill improve. If there is a more generalized skin problem, consider allergy testing when she is older.
