  My baby started getting baby acne around four weeks and it's only now that it's almost completely cleared up she's now 8 weeks. Hers looked like your little mans too, But if your concerned there's no harm going to your GP to check it out :)

  My daughters skin was very similar including the crusty ears. I have been bathing her every second day in warm water with mustella bath oil and wiping her face with a soft warm washer every other day (sometimes twice a day). I put mustella stellatopia moisturiser on her ears where crusty and rubbed off the crust during the bath. It has improved dramatically but she is still a bit bumpy. I think it just clears with time really but keeping the skin clean helps.

  My little girl has exactly same as these pics and has gotten progressively worse over last few days.  I'm just cotton wool and warm water cleaning it after each feed and used coconut oil this morning and seems to have settled it a little.  
  
  I did read somewhere it was something to do with hormones from mammys milk but it'd settle down after a while.

  That gives me a little piece of mind. He seems his normal self which is good so I guess I just need to let it go on his own but I have been trying to keep his face as clean as I can.

  My paed told me to use euracin acute control cream. It's works really well and taken the redness out of the acne.

  BH from June 2015... My bubba had what looks like the same thing around the same time as yours. It lasted about a week or just over. I went to the paed and he said not to put anything on it, that it would get worse before it gets better and that it would bother me more than her - all true. I put up a similar pic on here and had a bunch of mums BH on to my post telling me the same thing etc. Go to the Drs maybe just to rule out an allergy etc, but try not to worry too much.
