So my son has baby acne. Although I have many younger siblings, I have never seen baby acne. This was definitely unfamiliar territory! I felt like my own face was scarred. A personal shame that had inflicted my sons beautiful face. Of course people didn't make me feel better about the situation. I heard so many comments about his acne "Are you drinking enough water?... Thats what causes the bumps on his face"; "Maybe you are eating too much dairy"; "He might be allergic to something in your milk. Everyone had their opinions about the situation. His acne is healing up pretty nicely now after his pediatrician prescribed hydrocortisone.
His Acne in the worst state
