    Baby pimples

    Little Mack has what look like pimples, but only on one side of his face. And a huge amount of them! He's had them a couple of days, well after I started taking my mastitis anti biotics. He did have some 'pimples' before that, but this is really bad. Just wondering about the cause, because my exhausted brain can't remember, and can I do anything about them. Thank you.

    It's normal, just hormone rash. It will go soon enough, unfortunately they look pretty bad while they have it though!

    Yeah, what Nai said. My DD got them when she was about 4 weeks old - looked horrible but it settled down really quickly. No need to do anything to treat them.

    Exactly what the others have said, it's a hormone rash, or it's commonly referred to as milk spots or milk pimples.

    DS2 had them all over his face, he look horrible, it lasted around a week, maybe 2.

    Thanks everyone. I think I had forgotten they were a normal thing for bubs'.
