   Sounds like something similar with my boys. It cleared up when we switched to all cotton clothes, blankets and sheets.

   Baby's can get what looks like baby acne, and sometimes it's eczema. Usually it ends up going away on it's own. I remember with my boys they had it too, and no matter how much I moisturized their skin or washed their clothes nothing really seemed to help. They just eventually outgrew it.

   Sounds like eczema. There really is no treatment to cure this, but using over the counter lotions and creams can help each breakout. Sounds like you have been doing the right thing. She may grow out of it yet, and it is likely that it will move away from her cheeks as she gets older.

   Sometimes babies get what pediatricians call "baby acne" it's just their bodies adjusting the hormonal changes since birth. My mom has nine kids, I am the oldest. Sounds like your baby may have this… My mom has used Nivea face cream – no baby lotion on the face, just that stuff. It seems to work out.

   Sometimes babies only have it for the first few months, sometimes longer… I'm sure it will clear up. See if the Nivea cream works.

   Use aquaphor (not real sure of the spelling) and it should clear it up. I had the same problem with my youngest son and that cleared it up.

   It comes and goes?

   Does she vomit very often? Throwing up can cause those little bumps.

   Otherwise i'd be thinking an allergy to something.

   It could be a little heat rash if she sleeps on that side or if it has been warm outside. My son gets them too sometimes and they dont last long but we are both fair skinned and he also gets diaper rashes easily. I've also found that if I just wipe his mouth with a paper towel after meals he may still have milk or food other places on his face. Wash her face with a warm wet washcloth after she eats or has a bottle or nurses so that it is clean. if it gets dry from this try a little aquaphor. it works great on babies for dry skin. it kinda just feels like grease so just use a little. =) really shouldnt be much t o worry about.

   if it's tiny bumps it is probably baby acne which will clear up on it's own. otherwise, it's probably eczema and will need to be treated with a high strength hydro-cortisone cream. Sometimes you can treat it with a over the counter cream, but it's better to get a script from your pediatrician.

    Could be infant acne or excema….a doc can tell you for sure and give you an appropriate cream if needed.

    I have to tell you that I had a similar problem with my daughter. The doctor mentioned that cream too and nothing happened. Only until I decided to go to an actual dermatoligist was she cured with some special cream. Do that. Good luck.

    my boy got that all the time whenever i gave him a cuddle or played, we finally worked out that it was more often when i hadnt shaved for a day or two and my whiskers were affecting his skin. could it be as simple as this?

    baby products with aloe extract. my son had the same skin problems like that (i'm extremely sensitive)…and that's what the doctors prescribed. he lost all of those nasty little bumps in one week.

    My son got them too, and all it was is his saliva was chapping his cheeks and chin. I just made sure to keep lotion on him all the time, on his face, and they went away. You should also talk to your pediatrician just to make sure that it is not something else.
