What should I do if my baby has small pimples on his cheeks

Acne is caused by excessive oil secretion from the baby's skin. When the baby's pores are clogged, the oil cannot be released mainly, and finally accumulates little by little on the skin surface, which gradually forms acne. It is relatively rare for babies to have acne on their cheeks. The skin of a newborn baby is tender and good, but because of the mother, acne may appear on the cheeks. But don’t worry, let’s take a look at some ways to treat small acne.

Drink plenty of water

Compared with other skin, baby's skin is not so moisturized because there are no sweat glands and oil secretion on the lips. If the baby licks his lips frequently, it will accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the lips. Therefore, drinking more water is the only way to truly achieve the effect of hydrating the lips.

Apply moisturizing oil

Every time after washing your baby's face, be sure to apply moisturizing oil to your baby. If your baby drools often, the skin around his mouth will become red. You should wipe off the saliva first and then apply moisturizing oil.

Apply moisturizing cream

When choosing skin care products for your baby, mothers should try to choose skin care creams that are well absorbed and moisturizing, so that the baby's skin can be truly moisturized. Of course, if your baby's skin is already very dry, even chapped and flaky, then you should be careful when choosing skin care products, especially not choosing hormone-based skin care creams for the sake of quick results. Although these products are effective quickly, they are not good for your baby's health in the long run.

Feed your baby more fruits and vegetables

Vegetables and fruits contain a lot of vitamins A, C, etc., which can effectively replenish the baby's body with water, prevent the face from becoming dry, and prevent chapped face. Fruits include kiwi, orange, apple, etc.; vegetables include rapeseed, spinach, tomato, broccoli, etc.

Drinking water through diet

The climate is dry in autumn and winter, so mothers need to replenish their babies with water regularly. They should not wait until the baby is thirsty or sweats profusely after outdoor activities before letting the baby drink water. In addition, in winter, your baby should be fed more fruits and vegetables rich in VC to enhance skin elasticity.

1. Wash your face with warm water

You can clean your face frequently with warm water. Remember that the water temperature should not be too high or too low. It is best to keep it slightly higher than body temperature. Water temperature that is too high can easily burn the skin, while water temperature that is too low will not have much effect on the excretion of oil from the skin. Especially for babies, whose skin is relatively tender, it is not suitable to use water with too stimulating temperature.

2. Get enough sleep

Adequate sleep can effectively balance the secretion of various hormones in the body and play a good protective role on the baby's skin. If you get enough sleep, the oil secretion of the skin can also be curbed to a certain extent. Moreover, going to bed early is very important for the baby's growth and development, and can help him get a healthier body.

3. Mom should eat less spicy food

The secretion of skin oil is largely related to diet. When the mother often eats too greasy or spicy food, the baby will get small acne when drinking milk.

4. Don’t grab with your hands

If you have acne and feel uncomfortable, remember not to scratch it with your fingers, otherwise it will easily leave scars on your face.
