My one and half month baby face was full of red acne, her skin was very rough and flaky its like she has got prickly heat. My elders said it happens after birth it vl be fine on its own n all but I consulted her pediatrician he said her skin is sensitive and prescribed atonide gel for 7-10 days. I applied that fr a week and her face was totally clean n soft. But after 2 days of stopping that I am again she is getting that rough skin n acne again. Why again and what should I do to avoid this?

Atonide Gel is a mild to moderate strength steroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. YOur baby had mild normal rashes which all babies get and not your baby only. Babies show some rashes when they come to the world outside from the safe uterine atmosphere and for these normal variants, drugs or therapy are not needed and are harmful
