Melia, baby acne HELP

So I to my 5 week old  to the ER two days ago because she has hundreds of little bumps on her forehead , cheeks , ears and behind them & now it's spreading to her body . The doctor said its neonatal acne aka baby acne aka Melia

Has any one baby gone threw this !? I STILL don't think it's normal for the bumps to travel to her chest back legs and arms and look like a rash or break out.
Do you think I should see another  doc abt this ?
