    My doc said heat rash or just skin problems babies have. Hr daid its nothin to worry about though

    He said its normal. Or yes baby can. If it looks like it getting worse or spreading its something to be more concerned about but my baby girl has the same thing

    Sounds like newborn acne.. My 18mth old has excema and t ha t was more like redish dry patches his skin was sensitive he.needs mild soaps and I use ucerine for it its an expensive scentless lotion. Non medicated.. It works for him.. But baby acne. Will go away its from left over mommy hormones.. At lezst thats wut I read.. He also had a mild case of the nb acne.. Oh yeah breastmilk helps the baby.acne.go away.. Lol I know sounds weird but its true
