POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. If your 7-month-old baby has small bumps or acne-like spots on their head, it could be due to several reasons:
1. **Baby Acne**: This is common in newborns and infants and usually appears as small, red bumps or pimples on the face and sometimes the scalp. It often resolves on its own.
2. **Cradle Cap**: This condition causes yellowish, scaly patches on the scalp and can sometimes look like acne. It's a type of seborrheic dermatitis and is generally harmless.
3. **Heat Rash**: If your baby has been sweating or is in a hot environment, they might develop a heat rash, which can appear as small red bumps.
4. **Contact Dermatitis**: This can occur if the baby’s skin reacts to a product like shampoo, soap, or even certain fabrics.
To manage and treat these bumps:
- **Keep the Area Clean**: Gently wash your baby’s scalp with mild baby shampoo.
- **Avoid Irritants**: Use fragrance-free and hypoallergenic products to minimize irritation.
- **Moisturize**: If it’s cradle cap, applying a gentle baby oil or moisturizer may help loosen the flakes.
If the bumps persist, worsen, or are accompanied by other symptoms, consult your pediatrician or a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
