Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our seborrheic dermatitis product line.

Neonatal acne (sometimes called newborn acne or baby acne) is a temporary skin condition that appears as small red or white bumps, often on a baby’s cheeks and nose. It’s common around 3 to 4 weeks after a baby is born and usually results from maternal hormones or natural changes in your baby’s skin. It’s not a sign of poor hygiene, and it generally clears up on its own without treatment.
Cradle cap causes yellow or white scales on the scalp, eyebrows, and redness on other parts of the body. Eczema creates dry, itchy patches. Neonatal acne tends to look like tiny pimples that aren’t itchy.
