What is Neonatal Acne?

Neonatal acne (also known as baby acne) is a common and temporary skin condition that appears on the faces of newborns, usually within the first few weeks after birth. It presents as small red or white bumps, typically on the cheeks, forehead, chin, or nose.

Causes of Neonatal Acne

  • Maternal Hormones – Hormones passed from mother to baby stimulate oil glands.
  • Immature Oil Glands – Overactivity leads to clogged pores.
  • Inflammatory Reaction – Skin may react to yeast (Malassezia) on the surface.
  • Genetic Predisposition – Family history of acne may play a minor role.
  • External Irritation – Contact with saliva, milk, or rough fabrics.

Neonatal acne is mild and self-limiting but requires proper care to avoid irritation or infection. At MediSkin Hair Clinic, Pune, Dr. Shridevi Lakhe (MBBS, Dip. Dermatology) provides expert assessment and guidance for safe and gentle management of your baby’s skin.
