Baby acne

I recently started supplement with formula. My LO started developing a lot of acne about a week later. I started wondering whether the intro to formula had anything to do with it or if he just developed baby acne later than normal. How do you feed and does your LO Have a good bit of baby acne?

    Breastfeeding for 4 weeks and no baby acne. When we started formula feeding, he had baby acne for about 3 weeks. Now at 8 1/2 weeks, the baby acne has cleared up and now he has cradle cap and really dry skin on his face.

    My baby girl is breastfed, is 8 weeks old and doesn't have baby acne anymore. She did have it up until about 2 weeks ago though.

    LO is BF and had a bit of baby acne around 2-3 weeks. I put breastmilk on it and it cleared up quickly.

    I BF'ed DD and DS.  DD got it terribly around 3 weeks for a few weeks and DS never did.  Not sure if my hormone's are different or if his are but I guess it really does vary from kid to kid.

    BF and she only had it from about 3-5 weeks. A bit pops up if she gets too hot though.

    Doctor prescribed hydrocortisone and vanicream or petroleum jelly, and within the past week it's almost all gone.
