baby acne

女兒今天整一個月了,小小的臉上長出了無數疹子,皮膚紅紅的,一直以為是痱子,可是天氣漸漸涼快了,疹子還沒有下去的征象,看著她慘不忍睹的小臉,心裏真是難受。
約了醫生檢查,醫生說是eczema,開了2.5% hydrocortisone讓塗在臉上。我很不放心,一來藥物的濃度太高了,二來用在臉上。連藥師都說一般不用在臉上,因為會導致皮膚thining。問了兩個朋友,他們的孩子都曾經患過很重的eczema,都說聽起來不像濕疹,更象baby acne,而且從發生的時間也更偏向baby acne.難道這些醫生都是蒙古大夫?找了關於baby acne的文章參考。

Baby Acne

Introduction:
To many parents' dismay, their beautiful newborn's face breaks out with red bumps. This is called baby acne. It tends to occur at about the same age as the baby's peak gas production and fussiness. How attractive! (This all coincides with parents' maximum sleep deprivation.) Parents are often quite concerned both about how these bumps look and about their significance.

What is it?
The bumps of baby acne are quickly fleeting evidence of the connection between a mother’s body and her baby’s. During the final moments of pregnancy, her hormones cross the placenta into her child. Among other things (such as maturing the lungs), this stimulates the oil glands on the skin, eventually giving rise to the baby acne.

Who gets it?
Baby acne is a common newborn condition. It can be present at birth, but typically appears at 3 to 4 weeks of age.

What are the symptoms?
Fleshy or red pimples occur predominately on the cheeks, but are also quite common on the forehead and chin. Whiteheads are sometimes present.

The acne will be most prominent when the baby is hot or fussy (increased blood flow to the skin), or when the skin is irritated. If the skin comes into contact with cloth laundered in harsh detergents, or becomes wet from spit-up saliva or milk, the condition may appear worse for several days.

Is it contagious?
Babies develop the acne from the maturing effect of mothers’ hormones.

How long does it last?
This condition tends to come and go until the baby is between 4 and 6 months old.

How is it diagnosed?
Baby acne is recognized based on the timing and appearance.

How is it treated?
Usually, no treatment is necessary. It can help to gently cleanse the face once a day with water, and perhaps mild baby soap. Oils and lotions do not help, and may aggravate the condition. If the acne is severe or lasts beyond 6 months, your pediatrician may prescribe a mild medicine to help.

How can it be prevented?
Baby acne is a normal stage that is difficult to prevent. Try to take many pictures before the baby acne begins.

You can expect that the rash will soon be a memory. The oil glands will disappear, and you won't see the acne again until you turn around once, and your baby is a teenager. This time the acne will be evidence of hormones transforming your baby into an a
