Does anyone have any

My son has had this since infancy and the only thing that was ever recommended (besides leaving it be) was to use Nivea cream on it. But that doesn't help, he still has it on his arms no more on his face, back or chest. He's nine now and I don't want this plaguing him his whole life.

Yeah, fortunately all of our clients are Dermatologists or Plastic Surgeons', so it'll be handled as soon as I decide to take him to a dermatologist, just thought I'd try and save a copay first, lol. :) Thanks so much for your response.

Hum....well, I guess the only think you can do is to take him to a dermatologist. Since he isn't a baby but he's not a teen yet, he can probably handle some creams. But that is such a young age to have acne already. You may want to get his skin checked for any possible skin conditions. Maybe it's something that is easily treatable, but if it isn't, you should definitely try to find out now before he does enter his teen years.

Thank you for your comments, I hadn't thought about using wipes, that's a great idea! :)

Thank you I didn't realize it was so common, that's the one thing my pediatrician never told me. But I'm comforted in that knowledge, thank you. :)

I don't like responses like this -. Please refrain from commenting with no information if you have nothing to share.

My son as an infant had it a little bit on his face, but he has always had sensitive skin so I never did anything, we've always used hypoallergenic soaps, etc. I really just don't want this to be a confidence issue for him later in life. Thank you for your comments :)
