#asktheexperts Hi My baby boy is 23 days old and he getting some rash kind of thing on his face

A. At 23 days old, it's common for newborns to develop small rashes or red spots on the face, often due to baby acne, milk rash, or heat rash. These usually appear as tiny red or white bumps and are harmless. Keep your baby’s face clean by gently wiping with plain water and a soft cloth—avoid using soap or lotion unless prescribed. Make sure he’s not overdressed, as heat and sweat can worsen the rash. Avoid applying oils or powder on the face. If the rash worsens, spreads, or if there’s any pus, consult your pediatrician to rule out infection or allergy.
