Dear parent, I understand your concerns but I agree with your doctor as newborns commonly develop acne and boils in response to leakage of maternal hormones to the baby's circulation. this requires no medication and this is self limited condition. this means it will go away on its own when the maternal hormones clear eventually from the baby's circulation.
