I would take him to see a cranial sacral therapist. From what I have learned skin issues are related to the lymphatic system. I bet the CS therapist could really help.

Thoughts added to end of first post.

I think your little man is so adorable! I am glad to hear you are getting pictures done. You are right he will only be 3 months once. His skin will clear up and has alot already. I just saw this post for the first time today and I have to say on 12/21 his face was so clear and that was from using a lotion I think. You are right if it was bothering him you would know. If he isn't rubbing his face on everything then it isn't itching, I wouldn't think.

Sophia had dry skin and rubbed her face against me nonstop. I put some Shea Butter on and wala all better! I know Shea Butter is also good for Excema (sp?) if you want something else to try...but again I am glad to hear that you are getting your pictures done.

Good luck!!! And maybe you can share your photo shoot with us!!

Detergent check?

What are you using on his clothes, burp cloths etc....? That looks more like a reaction to me than plain old baby acne.


Use the perfume and dye free stuff.... no fabric softeners or dryer sheets at all.

These are beautiful! What a smiley guy. And I don't know if it's the lighting, some editing or just that it's getting better, but his skin looks GREAT in the photos

I read your thoughts at the end of your first post and I think your change in attitude is awesome! And the pictures are sooooooooo cute! What a great little model he is, with that huge smile!

I haven't read this thread before - but I just wanted to say he is adorable! Even with pimplies (but hopefully they stay away from now on)

Well I'm 99% sure that it is dairy now. I had some cheese and some sour cream yesterday evening, and nursed him last night, and now this morning his face is splotchy bright red again.

Or maybe it could still be chocolate. I forgot that I also had a brownie last night too.

He looks adorable and soooo happy!

Dairy is a pain! I know because I have given it up for 5 months! And I miss my cheese. Also you might want to be aware that chocolate...has dairy. Even many dark chocolates have it, usually diguised as casin or milk protien but that is the stuff that you have to watch for. It is tricky, did you know that hot dogs hide that stuff?? Not a big hot dog person but I thought I would put that out there in case

You got some really great pics!! He looks great, happy and cute!!
