Acne on my babies face and back
Hi Doctors, thanks in advance for your kind advise.
My 1 month old newborn daughter has this kind of acne on her face and also some sort of heat rash on her back, she is normal otherwise, feeding and sleeping normally and stool /urine also normal with no signs of irritation or inactiveness.
She also had some dry flaky skin behind her ears upto 2 days ago but that seems to be a bit better now.
Im in Delhi and the weather has changed to hot from being cold very recently.
Plz advise if there is something to worry about.
Thanks

It will heal on its own. Don't worry. These types of rashes are common in babies. Do not apply any oils/ powder/ lotions. Keep area clean and dry.

if rashes increase a lot, baby has fever/ excessive cry/ not feeding/ lethargic, etc. then please consult pediatrician
