Baby as well as infants are very likely to suffer from acne. The acne that attacks baby and infants is called infantile acne. It affects children below six years of age and generally occurs on cheeks, forehead and chin. It is more common in boys and settles down within a few months. It consists of whiteheads, blackheads, pustules and papules. It may leave permanent scars and often result in acne vulgaris during puberty.

Baby, who have acne as infants, can also fall a prey to acne mechanica due to prolonged use of caps or due to school bag straps. The repetitive friction in both the cases results in acne in some cases. Over exposure to sun can also lead to acne mechanica.

But then, what is the solution?

The solution is available in the form of various medications such as benzoyl peroxide, and others which may be recommended by your dermatologist as per the condition of the sufferer. Some therapies, techniques, and easy tips can come to your aid as well.

You have to learn to handle it in order to make your baby learn how to handle acne. So if your baby is suffering from acne, it needs your support and encouragement apart from a good dermatologist.
