Do not be afraid of your baby's soft spot. You may use a mild soap or baby shampoo. Wash in the creases, rinse and dry well. The skin normally dries and peels, especially on the hands and feet, the first week. Ask your doctor about any rash.
Many babies get pimples on their face, scalp, and chest at three to six weeks of age.
This condition does not suggest an allergy or other problem and requires no treatment. It usually resolves in one to two months. Once the meconium has passed, your baby's stools will turn yellow-green. Keep in mind that occasional variations in color and consistency of the stools are normal. Wash the diaper area with a soft cloth or toilet tissue and mild soap and water.
