How long does baby acne last

consultation with a doctor is suggested if the baby acne lasts beyond three months or becomes more severe. Health advisors have suggested applying breast milk to the acne and allowing it to air dry. Treatment such as hydrocortisone or other products designed to reduce itching and dryness can also be effective in the elimination of neonatal acne, but should be avoided unless the condition is extremely severe or specifically advised by a doctor.
