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

My baby had the same issue. Confinement lady boiled chrysanthemum and honeysuckle tea (1:1 ratio, bring to boil over stove then simmer over low fire for an hour or so). When bathing baby, use normal tap water. Then use tea ( dilute with water so you have enough) to do a final rinse of the body then dry baby. Don’t rinse tea off with water. Can do this once a day for 1-2 days. Helps to rid body of heat and toxins. Works for my baby and we have used this on and off whenever he has red spots on his face.
