OK ladies, since about last Thursday Paige has had these red bumps ALL over her face and even along the back of her head at the hair line. I don't know if it's baby acne or a rash or what the heck it is. It looks REALLY bad. I tried to take some pics of it so I hope this captures how bad it really looks. Any advice from the BTDT moms or anyone who know??? I hate how bad it looks.

ooh, looks painful, hope it doesnt bother her though! i honestly not sure, is it only her face and neck? cant be a detergent or baby wash you use or anything? maybe worth getting it checked out to see what the doc says. It sot of looks like a rash, but then I can see where its a bit pimpley too.Hope you get it figured out. Did it just come up suddenly or has it been a build up?

I'm not too sure, but it kind of reminds me of heat rash. Has she been extra warm lately? Could be acne, but I don't think it's usually that widespread. Plus there are some generally red areas w/o the bumps it looks. Is she itchy at all..maybe eczema?
I'm not too sure hun. I'm sorry. Maybe put a call into the pedi just to get it checked out.

Gwen, I can't see the pictures. Tori had a little acne but it was not on the back of her head. You could e-mail me the pictures if you still have my e-mail address and I could tell you if it looks like what Tori had.

Aww poor baby!! I have no idea, but it definitely looks like a rash to me. Have you asked your pedi? Good luck sweety!

I think it is baby acne. Amelia has the same exact thing - in her hairline and everything. And we've been told it's baby acne. Let me know if you hear otherwise.

I think it's heat rash. Kerrigan has it too all on her face and in her hair... it only shows up on really hot days or when she gets worked up. Her poor head gets all sweaty when she's tired.... and with 80 degree humid days, it is really showing up alot right now.

I would say it's likely a combo of heat rash and acne. The pimply dots look just like Elliott's acne break-outs, but the overall inflammation reminds me more of a rash. Definitely keep an eye on it... if it's bothering her at all, I would probably call your pedi and have it checked out.

OK so doc said it was just baby acne and to do NOTHING for it?!?! Guess they know what they are talking about. Anyway, she said it "should" go away in 3-4 weeks. I sure hope so.

I was going to say it looks like something Ana had, which was the surge of pg hormones leaving my body through my milk, and that if it looked really nasty to dab it with witch hazel and cold water. It lasted about a week, and came back (much milder) on 2 or 3 occasions more.

Awww poor baby! I hope the "rash" or "acne" go away soon!

Any updates?

[KCMomma]

Thanks Aaron. Yeah, I went to the doc and she said it was just baby acne...and it should go away in 3-4 weeks. Who knows!?!?! I just think it looks so bad.

[NortheastWifey]

I know - I hate to see it on Amelia, too. She even has a little on her chest. Our poor little girlies!

[courtneytcu98]

Elliott had it pretty bad for a few weeks, but it has been gone for a long time now. Hopefull it will clear up soon for Amelia and Paige.

Thanks Courtney!!
