What's the diagnosis?

The mother of a 4-week old infant asks what the rash is on her baby’s face. A few questions reveal the infant is being exclusively breastfed and mom is eating her usual diet. The baby had had no fevers and no one else home is sick.

This eruption is localized to her face. Otherwise she has been fine.

This is neonatal acne.
