My son is in the upper 90th percentile of every height/weight/head circumference category, but I honestly didn't expect him to already be pubescent. He's started developing these small pimples on his cheeks and across his nose. They generally fade after a few days and with a good wash of warm water. But it still cracks me up to see a little one-month old baby with acne. I almost expect his cries to get deeper and to see little hairs sprouting on his chin!
According to my research, it's generally caused by irritation to certain fabrics or milk or saliva that comes into contact with the skin. I guess he has it because he spits up and then rubs it all over his face with his little clinched fist.
