My little baby girl is one week old. She has developed what seems to be a severe acne.
Baby acne is completely normal.
It is primarily caused by hormones passed through the placenta prior to birth. Unfortunately, some of these rashes may seem unsightly especially when they get worse over the first couple of weeks of life. Baby acne is one of these rashes. The last trimester of pregnancy is full of activity with respect to what mom passes on to baby. A large amount of calcium is transferred during this time.
