A. Small dots and rashes on a baby’s face are often caused by heat rash, drool rash, or baby acne, which are common and usually harmless. Here's what you can do: 1. Cleanse gently: Wash the baby’s face with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free baby soap. Pat dry gently. 2. Moisturize: Apply a light, hypoallergenic baby cream or ointment like petroleum jelly to soothe the skin. 3. Avoid irritants: Keep the area dry, and avoid harsh products or excessive wiping. 4. Use natural remedies: Aloe vera gel or breast milk can be applied to soothe the rash. If the rash worsens, spreads, or lasts more than a few days, consult a pediatrician to rule out allergies or infections.
