Hi, Your son may be having neonatal acne. It is a harmless and benign condition. The acne lesions at this age may be due to testosterone in blood. Not to worry at all. It may recover by itself without any treatment. Still, it remains.you may apply erythromycin gel on the lesions. No oral treatment is needed. Do not squeeze the lesions, otherwise he may develop secondary infection. In that case, he needs oral antibiotic like azithromycin in pediatric dose. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Thanks.
