I know pimples in newborns are common and caused by the mother's hormones and clogged pores. My son's pimple problem seems quite severe so I'm wondering if something else could be causing them. The pimples are actually bursting on their own and leaving a yellow crust. He has patches of skin around the pimples that are red and raised and overnight his little head broke out in dozens of white heads. Could this be just a nasty bout of newborn acne or possibly and allergic reaction? I am planning on taking him to the doctor today but thought I'd see if anyone experienced similar with their little one.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL 1/ Never, ever touch your face. 2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day. 3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal 4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal. Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing. 5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again. 6/ Do this for 90 days. 7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days. Source: A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots
Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?
my son had that when he was born and for the first like 5 months. we tried switching formula thinking maybe he was lactos intolerant, i tried different soap, different lotion and nothing seemed to help... then i swear to you it just started clearing up and soon it was just gone. he also started getting little red cheeks and dry skin however that cleared up also. dont worry to much it will go away eventually just make sure you keep his face clean and dry and don't put lotion on it that will help with the irritation. and what ever you do don't try to pop them... that will only make it worse. if it starts to get really bad i would ask your ped and maybe it has something to do with his milk?? good luck and i hope i helped and answered some of your questions

Acné, qué feo... Yo mismo he pasado por un problema grave de acné y me he dado cuenta de que todos los medicamentos que existen para curar el acné en realidad sólo son remedios temporales para los síntomas, y algunos de ellos son agresivos para nuestro propio cuerpo y pueden llegar a hacernos daño si tenemos algún descuido. ¿Mi consejo? Que ataques a la raíz del acné y no a sus síntomas. Toma este enlace, es de lo mejor que hay, y mucha suerte: http://milagroacne.youtips.info
