Suspecting baby acne on my newborn

Hi Mummies, Recently I see red spots on my newborn baby’s chin and cheeks specially after breastfeeding. I have attached the photo here L. Sometimes they are very prominent and sometimes they are light. I suspect they are baby acne. Anybody else faced this ? My baby is 11 days old. #advicepls

Second the above comment, it could be rash milk. It usually appears at the cheek or near the mouth area. My son had this until he was 2.5 months due to breastfeeding. What i did after each feeding is to dap a small cotton wool with luke warm water on the area. Leave it to dry. It subsided once my son turns 3 months old. But if its prolonged or spread to other areas best to go doctor to get proper treatment.
