infant acne

Hi mummies, my 3 week old baby's face have acne like things on his face. Is this normal??? I thought it was the breastmilk and have been wiping his face after each feed, but the acne still remains and are increasing day by day. How do i get rid of them?

My girl has it too and checked with pediatrician, it is normal as some babies have sensitive skin and aggrevated by mummy's hormones.. dr says to just use boiled water to clean their faces daily and avoid using any cream etc as it might worsen it. I used mustela face cream for my LO initially and it didn't work. After cleaning with water instead, if cleared up with a week. :)
