&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Commonly referred to as &lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-path-to-node=&quot;0&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;24&quot;&gt;neonatal or infantile acne&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, baby acne is a frequent and short-lived skin condition characterized by tiny bumps on a newborn&#39;s face and neck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;While there isn&#39;t much you can do to prevent it, the condition is harmless and typically resolves on its own without leaving any lasting marks or scars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;It is often confused with other harmless conditions, such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Importantly, none of these newborn skin conditions are triggered by the same bacteria responsible for adolescent or adult acne.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
