Infant acne

My baby girl has it bad, and I dunno what to do. All the moms that answered my post on Baby bump said to put breastmilk on it. What do you ladies think will help. She has it all over her face, head, and neck. The parts that are going away have left her skin & scalp dry. I feel so bad for her:(

Are you not nursing? Because breast milk really is the best thing for it. It will go away on its own soon enough. Both of my kids had terrible breakouts. I would squirt milk on my finger and dab it on the bad spots and it did help, but waiting it out was tough.

When my son has a little break out on his face I put A&D ointment on the area and by the next day its gone.

I am nursing. What about her scalp? She has spots where it's so dry the skin is flakey, and it's thinning her hair out. Poor thing didn't have much to begin with.
