What’s the best way to treat milia and baby acne?
Most cases of milia disappear on their own within several weeks. Baby acne often clears up quickly, too. In some cases, however, baby acne lingers for months or even longer. In the meantime, wash your baby’s face with warm water two or three times a day and pat it dry. Don’t use lotions, oils or other treatments. Never pinch or scrub milia or baby acne. You may cause more irritation or an infection. If you’re concerned about your baby’s complexion or it doesn’t clear up within three months, consult your baby’s doctor. He or she may recommend a medicated cream or other treatment.
