Acne
Neonatorum
About
20% of babies born each year are affected by a skin
disease called newborn acne, medically known as
Acne Neonatorum. During immaturity hormones are passed
form the mother’s body to the infant after
delivery.
It is these hormones that trigger the oil glands
in the baby’s skin which in turn clog the pores. Baby
acne usually affects the cheeks, forehead and rarely the
scalp. This is normally a temporary situation and the
baby outgrows this phase in the initial few months. This
acne does not need any medical treatment, however
topical creams like benzoyl peroxide, retinoid and other
keratolytic agents are advocated by the baby doctor in
case of severity.
Pamper
your angel holistically!
Newborn
acne
shows a tradition of starting at the age of 3 weeks.
Mostly predominant in male babies, this acne appears as
small red pustules that resemble small rounded boils
filled with pus inside. Oil or lotions that have a cream
base often aggravate the condition. This acne disappears
in a few weeks time. Though on severe cases doctors
prescribe topical medicines like retinoid, all these
chemicals work externally on the lesions rather than
treating form inside. A holistic approach on the other
hand treats your child from inside thereby identifying
the internal factors involved. The mother’s hormones cut
through the placenta into the baby and cause the oil
glands to choke the pores as a post delivery
consequence. Relieve your infant in a holistic way which
will help neutralize the instability both internally and
externally.
The
genetic sensitivity of the sebaceous glands of the
infant to the maternal hormones causes the breakout of
rashes which can be cured in the true sense only
holistically. The lesions caused mostly subside on their
own within 3-4 months. Although affecting a newborn, the
fact remains the same for any acne! Treat it
holistically to get rid of it. Avoiding soap being the
smart way, you can wash the baby’s face with lukewarm
water. The baby usually gets irritable as the lesions
cause discomfort. So try and calm your baby by
breastfeeding frequently and soothing her in your lap.
The warmth helps your baby feel secure. Now your newborn
surely deserves this much of pampering, holistically of
course! As the hormones derived from the mother’s
placenta start ceasing, the oil glands resume their
normal functioning and thus the pores are gradually
unblocked.
So
go ahead and say no to all those over the counter
chemicals and treat your little one holistically.
Holistic treatment of acne is a sure cure of the
discomfort with no side effects at all. Unlike the easy
to apply and quick remedies available in the market
followed by their lousy side effects, holistic treatment
deals with the basic causes of acne and not just the
symptoms.
Treated as a whole your body and mind both
respond to the holistic approach heartily and you
discover a new you with all that lost aura around! So be
it newborn acne or adult acne, must be treated
holistically to be cured.
