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

It’s normal. It’s milk/drool rash. They will also have it when they start sucking their hands (saliva spreading over face). I just use cotton balls with warm water to clean after every feeding, let it dry then apply a thin layer of Sudocrem. Alternatively, just use warm water and cotton balls.
