Hormones spots

Alyssa got quite a lot early on as well, and I was bummed cause all the cute babies on tv never look spotty! haha They just faded on their own and these days she doesn't seem to get them anymore - I think from about 3 months they settled down. I don't think you need to do anything to be honest.

my daughter got alot of them - it did spoil her good looks i must admit, for memory (asI look at photos) they lasted around 3 weeks. Rhyley got a few on his chin. and don't do anything as they go on their own and you could end up scaring if did anything drastic - i knew someone who squeezed the white ones as if they were pimples- some ppl

jack got them quite badly on his face too from around 6wks and i think they lasted a couple of weeks. as the others have said, they will go on there own. but yes, it's a pain especially when you want to show off your gorgeous new baby

From memory and not looking back at photos my little man was about 6 weeks old and they lasted until he was about 12 weeks. His face was pretty covered and looked horrible. But I was told that mums notice it more than anyone else. I used some alpha keri oil on them and they cleared up so much quicker, there was a big change overnight it seemed anyway.

Hey I think he's a little cutie. Keep taking those pics anyway cause it's just a baby thing and they can still look cute underneath I think my girls' started clearing around the 3m mark so it could be a few weeks but at least it is nothing serious.

Hey thanks Becks. I will try that as I have aqueous cream for my older daughter who gets ezcema

Isla had them bad too. Began with the odd pimple at about 2-3 weeks old, then they got so bad that each 'pimple' was big and looked pussy and was joined to the next one. They were all through her hair, ears, and down her neck onto her shoulders. They then went all dry and looked a bit scaly, then when that went away, new clear skin appeared underneath. They were probably there about a month in total. She looks perfect now!

Hey Kellz, I took him to the Dr for his reflux and he noticed the spots. I said yeah plunket said it was hormones spots. THEN HE SAYS He may have had a few but he has a form of dermatitis that makes him allergic to his own natural body oilsand this is the reason his face and scalp was turning into one big red spot So he was on steroids to get it under control and now he has emulsfiers 4 times daily to his face scalp and shoulders. I have since found out he is allergic to the NATURAL soap free baby bath stuff I use so he has nothing in his bath. His face is still quite spotty on his cheeks and back of his neck but he look alot better. He loves to rub his face on my shoulder as Im sure he has realized it feels nice!!! Dr says he will grow out of it...Hes hoping. I saw in one of the forums  you are an RN. What field of nursing are you in?
