Is Acne On Cheeks And Red Rashes On A 3 Month Baby Be Due To Allergy?

My baby boy is 66 days old ..and from last 3 days i 'm noticing tiny acne on both of his cheeks...there was alittle bit of red rashes also... but it seems to be reducing...Is it because of some allergy? Or because of the allergy of the food I intake?(I am a vegeterian).I use johnson & Johnson shower gel and creams...he is not showing any itching symptoms...

Hi....by what you quote I feel that your kid might be having an eczema. I sympathize with the kid and understand your concern. As a matter of fact even my kid had this when young. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months.
