Is this baby acne or something else? It’s mostly just on her face and head/scalp.

Go to the GP, Baby acne normally starts between birth & 4 weeks, my boys started similar to this at 6 weeks, doctor said it was acne, 2 weeks later turns out it is eczema & he had a flare up & has needed steroid cream xx

Looks similar to what my baby has had, she's 3 weeks and had this on her face but it changed each day so it would go in one place and appear in another - we just assumed it was baby acne. I put breastmilk on it which helped 😊 I'd defs go and get it checked out though if you're worried xx
