<<the mother has been told by a paed/derm that the baby has infant acne, it's
caused by bf, and she must stop bf. Mother is distraught. >>
I too have heard this before.  Is the acne causing problems (infection,
scratching)?  My guess is that it isn't.  Mom may be bothered by the way it
looks only.  This is not a reason to stop nursing.
The rashes that babies get on the face are often merely hormonal in origin and
are not harmful.
