Neonatal Acne

Neonatal acne is a common skin condition affecting newborns, and our dedicated program is designed to offer comprehensive understanding, effective treatment options, and gentle care guidance for both parents and their little ones.

Causes: Neonatal acne, also known as baby acne, is a temporary and common skin condition that affects newborns. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to maternal hormones passed to the baby during pregnancy. These hormones can stimulate the baby's oil glands, leading to the development of small red or white bumps on the face.

Symptoms: Neonatal acne typically appears within the first few weeks after birth. It is characterized by the presence of small red or white pimples, often on the baby's face, particularly on the cheeks, nose, and forehead.
