TEA TREE OIL Side Effects & Safety. Tea tree oil is POSSIBLY SAFE for most people when put on the skin, but it can cause skin irritation and swelling. In people with acne, it can sometimes cause skin dryness, itching, stinging, burning, and redness.
Baby acne is a very common skin rash which usually develops in the first few weeks after birth. It is more common in boy babies than girl babies. This rash confuses many parents who assume (and not unreasonably) that acne is something which affects adults, especially teenagers.
3. Eczema. Like baby acne, eczema is very common in newborns, but itâs usually caused by dry (not oily) skin. Mild eczema can cause lots of small bumps, similar to baby acne. Since it often starts on the cheeks, itâs easy to confuse with baby acne. But, if it spreads into a rash that covers the skin or develops in other areas of your babyâs body, such as the folds of his elbows and knees, then itâs probably eczema, not acne.
