A member asked:
I am breastfeeding my baby and he has a rush on his face, neck and head for 5 days. is that baby acne ? or how do i know if its baby acne or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Baby acne is a reflection of retained maternal hormones that cannot be removed by the absent placenta. It usually emerges by a week or two and disappears before 2-3 months. Since you did not describe it or provide the kids age, it is hard to provide more of an answer.
