Just wait it out like your doctor told you.

DP, but we were specifically told NOT to use soap on a newborn’s face.

Both of my DDs had it, and it peaked between 6 and 8 weeks for each of them. By 10-12 weeks, it was completely gone.
Gently wipe their face with a soft washcloth and warm water. Don't use soap on their face for right now. It will go away with time.

It just goes away on its own. Both my kids had it. My newborn now has crystal clear skin at 10 weeks. Just wait it out.

Tubby Todd All Over Ointment is a godsend. I highly recommend this for baby acne as well as scratches on the face. But, yes, it will also disappear in a handful of weeks.

Change the soap you use

There’s not really much you can or should do other than refrain from taking portraits. 😬

It’s hard to look at, but I promise it will clear up. Just be patient.

Trying putting breast milk on it

My second had this. You just have to wait it out, unfortunately. I wouldn’t mess around with creams on newborn skin; it’s very sensitive and prone to rashes already.

No, it’s hormonal. Both of my kids had horrible baby acne and then it just went away and they had beautiful skin. I’m a newborn photographer and see lots of baby acne (it’s one of the reasons I like to photograph in the first 10 days when possible). It will go away; I know it’s hard to wait but it ends in a few weeks and is totally normal.
