Use a mild, fragrance-free baby cleanser only if needed
Pat the skin dry; do not rub
Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the affected area
Do not use adult acne products, oils, or medicated creams unless prescribed
Keep lotions, soaps, and laundry detergents fragrance-free and gentle
Avoid picking, squeezing, or scratching the bumps
Wash your hands before touching your baby’s face
Keep drool and milk residue wiped away gently
Dress your baby in soft, breathable fabrics
Let the skin breathe and avoid heavy creams on the face
Give it time, since baby acne often clears on its own
