DS has what looks like a rash on his face - but could be baby acne?

How do I know if it is a rash or acne and whether it is something to be concerned about? He is 4 wks - it is only on his face - on his cheeks, and above his lip - not covering the entire areas - just little red dots - they are slightly raised cause i can feel them to the touch. It started on one cheek on friday and now it is on the other and above the lip. TIA.

sounds like what DS has at 5 weeks. At his month appt we asked the ped and she said it was acne. I'd just check with your dr.
