Hi there,
Technically at the end of 3rd week of my pregnancy, I went for a high frequency beauty treatment. In the 5th week I went for a whitening treatment. All without knowing that i am pregnant. Can this harm my baby? Please detail your knowledge on this and I am grateful.
It shouldn’t do any harm if you just did it once but I wouldn’t do it again without speaking to your doctor. Also just in case let you doctor know exactly what you did. -

i have washed my 3 week old baby’s face 3-5 times a day, and it just seems want to stay there and grow some more. i have also tried different soaps and make sure i have clean face or mouth before i kiss him. could he be allergic to some kind of fabric or dust?
First, baby acne is completely normal and not harmful at all. If you scrub your baby’s face, stop and just wash lightly.Here is an excerpt from Drgreene.com:
o many parents’ dismay, their beautiful newborn’s face breaks out with red bumps. This is called baby acne. It tends to occur at about the same age as the baby’s peak gas production and fussiness. How attractive! (This all coincides with parents’ maximum sleep deprivation.) Parents are often quite concerned both about how these bumps look and about their significance.
These bumps, Beckie, are quickly fleeting evidence of the connection between your body and your son’s. During the final moments of your pregnancy, your hormones crossed the placenta into your son. Among other things (such as maturing his lungs), this stimulated the oil glands on your son’s skin, eventually giving rise to the baby acne.
Fleshy or red pimples can be present at birth, but typically appear at 3 to 4 weeks of age. They occur predominately on the cheeks, but are also quite common on the forehead and chin. Whiteheads are sometimes present. This condition tends to come and go until the baby is between 4 and 6 months old.
The acne will be most prominent when your son is hot or fussy (increased blood flow to the skin), or when his skin is irritated. If his skin comes into contact with cloth laundered in harsh detergents, or becomes wet from saliva or milk that he has spit up, the condition may appear worse for several days.
Gently cleanse his face once a day with water, and perhaps a mild baby soap. Oils and lotions do not help, and may aggravate the condition. If the acne is severe or lasts beyond 6 months, your pediatrician may prescribe a mild medicine to help.
Otherwise, you can expect that the rash will soon be a memory. The oil glands will disappear, and you won’t see the acne again until you turn around once, and he’s a teenager. This time the acne will be evidence that his own hormones are turning him into a man.

Baby Acne Prevention | Treatment
Prevention of Baby Acne:
The generally accepted thought on baby acne prevention is that there’s little you can do to prevent baby acne. The best baby acne prevention treatment is usually no treatment at all.
Most studies suggest baby acne is brought on by hormonal fluctuation in their mother right before child birth. Normal baby acne is nothing to worry about and will disappear on its own in a few months time.
There is another type of baby skin disorder that most people misdiagnose as acne, that causes small whiteheads. These small bumps are called milia. They are painless and disappear on their own within one or two months.
Below is an article with more information about what actually causes the problem and what you can do to help alleviate baby acne.
Dealing With Baby AcneBaby acne is actually quite a common affliction among newborn babies. In fact, more than 20% of newborn babies are affected by baby acne. Baby acne is not a serious problem and, with the proper care and treatment, can be alleviated quite easily and effectively. If your baby is affected by baby acne, it is a good idea to understand what it is.
The maternal hormones that cross the placenta during delivery and stimulate the baby’s sebaceous glands cause baby acne. These hormones irritate the baby’s oil glands and cause pimple-like bumps all over the baby’s skin. Other causes of baby acne can include any medications the baby may be on, or any medications a nursing mother may be taking. Usually, baby acne occurs on the baby’s face, neck, chin and back. Baby acne typically looks like a pimple, or whitehead and is surrounded by reddish skin.
Baby acne typically appears anytime between the time of delivery and three weeks of age. It has been found that male babies are more prone to baby acne than female babies, however, it does occur in both sexes. Usually, baby acne resolves itself by the age of four months. Baby acne will not leave any scars on your baby’s skin, however it can be extremely irritating and itchy for the baby.
Baby acne is treated very easily. It is advised that parents gently wash the baby’s face with a mild soap and water at least once a day. Do not scrub the baby’s skin and always pat it dry instead of rubbing. However, be sure not to over-wash the baby’s skin too much. Remember, baby acne is not caused by dirt, so over-washing can irritate it further. It is also recommended that parents avoid applying any type of lotion or oil to the baby’s skin, as those products could possible worsen the baby acne problem.
Additionally, washing anything that the baby may come in contact with, including the baby’s clothing, blankets, towels and bed linens in a mild detergent is also important.
If baby acne is more severe, some pediatricians will recommend over-the-counter drugs such as hydrocortisone cream, to treat the skin condition. The most effective over-the-counter treatment for baby acne is actually an ionic colloidal silver solution. It is safer than other creams and kills the bacteria that can cause baby acne. The ionic colloidal silver solution can also promote healthy skin growth and reduce the uncomfortable itching caused by baby acne.
It is important that you do not use any over-the-counter medications for adult or teenage acne problems on the baby’s skin. These medications are too strong for the baby’s tender skin and can even further irritate the baby acne.
The occurrence of baby acne is not necessarily determined by a family history of acne. Baby acne is simply a hormonal reaction within the baby’s body shortly after birth of the baby’s hormones reacting to maternal hormones. Additionally, the occurrence of baby acne will not affect or influence the onset of acne in adolescence.
