Acne in Children: What's Normal and What's Not

Acne in children looks different — and means something different — depending on age. Acne in a newborn or infant is usually benign and self-resolving, but acne appearing in a child between ages 1 and 7 is uncommon enough that doctors treat it as a signal worth investigating.
