: What's the best way to prevent and treat baby acne?
: Baby acne during the first months of life requires no treatment. No matter how bad it looks, it will clear up spontaneously during the first months, and will leave no scarring. There is a form of "infantile" acne that tends to begin after the first months, which is more common in boys, and can be severe enough to scar if associated with cyst formation. See your pediatrician and pediatric dermatologist to handle this if infantile acne is severe.
