The pathology of disease

Infantile acne is neonatal/infantile inflammatory papules/pustules/comedones on face (cheeks/forehead/chin), from maternal androgens/neonatal sebaceous gland activity, usually benign, self-resolving by 1-2 years. Treatment: gentle cleansing; avoid oily products; topical benzoyl peroxide (low concentration); topical retinoid (adapalene) for persistent; oral antibiotics (erythromycin) for severe/infected; investigate endocrine cause (androgen excess/CAH) if persistent/virilizing; reassurance; follow-up pediatrics/dermatology.
