My almost 2 year old seems to have "broken out" on his cheeks. They are just small whitehead bumps and don't seem to bother him, but I want to make sure it's not something more serious. I thought it might be the juice I was giving him, but they are still there and the juice is gone. We do live in CO and it's very dry here. So I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Any suggestions?
Any suggestions?
If it is from the juice, just stopping the juice won't immediately clear it up, the body will still need time to work out the build up... that is IF it is from the juice... do you have reason to suspect allergies?
If you are pretty confident that it is acne and not something else, just keeping his hands clean and face clean should help, but don't OVER clean it obsessively, which will only cause the sebbaceous glands to go into overdrive, trying to replace the oils which get stripped from overwashing.
If by chance you are lactating, I'll tell you... I was told that there was NOTHING you could do about baby acne, and I saw many people have issues with baby acne which lasted MONTHS... at the first sign of any baby acne, I made it a point to squirt breast milk on the face every time I nursed them... and it always cleared right up. Incidentally, breastmilk is also the best treatement for pink eye, styes and clogged tear ducts.
