Small bumps that appear on a baby's cheeks, nose, and forehead.

Acne in babies usually appears on the cheeks, nose, and forehead. It's also known as baby acne.

Babies also develop tiny white bumps known as milia.

Neonatal acne isn't preventable and usually goes away on its own. If the acne lasts several months, a pediatrician may recommend a medicated cream.
