I had a problem with Acne on our new born. I used a Cream NYSTATIN And TRIMCINOLONE ACETONIDE CREAM USP. Its for diaper rash but it heals almost any cut scratch or acne almost over night. I just used a small spot of it on each cheek and in a week they were baby soft and only started to come back once. I retreated for a day and have not had a problem now for a month and a half. The cream is RX ONLY so you need a doctor.

: I've been reading up on baby acne and the only treatment available is to wash her face and wait a couple of months. I would like to know if there is something else I could do. Her acne looks really bad, I've never seen a baby with acne like this. Is this normal?
