[|Human|] My 4wk old baby has a lot of acne it was just her face but now it covers her scalp, entire neck and her chest it has started to move down onto her upper back. Its orange. And the ones on the back of her neck started to ooze I noticed it when I changed her sleeper which it had stained the neckline. Should I be worried or is this normal?
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have symptoms of acne on the body which oozes which occur due to blocked ducts of sebaceous glands. Dead skin and bacteria entrapped inside cause infection and the dark spots after acne are post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Need not worry. I would suggest you to apply vitamin C serum at night. You should start with use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during daytime. Protect your skin from sun exposure. If condition persist even after a month the consult dermatologist. Doctor may recommend techniques like laser therapy and dermabrasion and prescribe antibiotics, retinoids and retinoid for acne. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
