Newborn Pimple Question Posted: 07-17-07 10:04am
Here I am again....freaking out. I had
some huge cold sores appear a few days
after Brian was born. Although I took
precautions, no one told me how life
threatening they could be if Brian got
them. I found out by the good ol'
internet.
Yesterday Brian got what appeared to be an
insect bite on his chin. It came out of no
where. This thing had a raised white
center with red around it. This morning,
he had a few more that look like insect
bites around the same area. The one from
yesterday no longer looks like an insect
bit. It is extremely small and a slightly
raised bump.
I am hoping this is just infant acne or
pimples. The other possibility isn't
something I even want to think about but
considering this little man's history, I
am freaking out. If you had experience
with newborn pimples, did they look like
what I just described? Did they appear out
of no where and initially look like insect
bites??

I really have no
idea. Maybe you could google "baby acne"
and click on 'images' to get an idea of
what it looks like? That's all I can
really think of, apart from calling his
doctor and asking.

Thanks. I did and couldn't find anything
but text. I tried for a while.
If you or someone else has a good link to
baby pimples or acne please post or pm.

Okay, at the Google main page, right at
the top it has a bunch of stuff:
web, images, video, news, maps, gmail,
more...
Click on images, and THEN type baby acne
into the search. You'll get tons of hits.
(I tested it before replying). I really
hope that helps!

Jaylon had baby acne bad, it seems he was
a bit older, but...? I put ucerine cream
on them and they went away over night.
i hope these don't get removed right away.
hope he is okay otherwise. it sounds
like this is common and harmless but
you've been through so much already!

Amelia had baby acne. I noticed it popped
up if I put lotion on her face or washed
it with anything. So I just used water.
But I think its probably baby acne. Mel
had some that looked like what Brian has.
(I can NEVER spell Brian right the first
time, I spelled brain lol)

Ava had baby acne at 2 weeks old. The
doctor told me to put some cetaphil lotion
with a little bit of cortizone cream and
apply it once a day.
