Hmmmm… I’m not sure it’s acne as such but your baby looks like a newborn, is that right? Their skin reacts like mad to the air and all its irritants so it might just be a little reaction - my baby had lots of spots and weird rashes at the beginning!

Yes, textbook baby acne. It will clear by itself.

My daughter had this - I can remember the official name for it, but it cleared by itself after a few weeks.

It is very common in babies at around 8 weeks, particularly boys.
It will go soon so try not to worry.
