Baby Zit

Real Dad Blog Version:  My son got his first big pimple at the age of 10 months.  I wanted to pop the zit but prevented myself from doing so.

There it was, a giant zit on our baby’s face.  It was a great big zit.  His first big zit.  This was like those big teenage acne zits.  It was one I so wanted to pop.  It would have oozed out because it was so big.

Since it was on my baby’s face, I could not see if it would pop all over the place.  I had to let it heal on its own. It went away in less than a day.  I wish when I got a zit it healed that fast.  Babies and their amazing healing abilities!

Baby Acne

Rylan never went through the baby acne stage because he has been breastfed. This was a real zit that came from his dirty eating habits.  The zit appeared right on the middle of his face.  The position could not have been any better.  It was in a place where it would have made a teenage girl cry right before her pictures.  Even though this big zit stuck out on our baby’s face, he still looked like a little stud.

A word of advice to parents with severe baby acne, please never put creams or oils on the babies face.  Just like I wanted to pop this big pimple, the best thing to do is leave it alone.  The pimples will go away.  The zits do not bother your baby so it should not bother you either.
