Heat Rash – Newborns have sensitive skin, and heat or sweating can cause small red or pink bumps. Baby Acne – Common in newborns due to maternal hormones and usually resolves on its own. Dry Skin or Allergic Reaction – Some baby soaps, shampoos, or lotions might not suit your baby’s skin. Eczema or Skin Irritation – If the dots are dry, itchy, or inflamed, it could be mild eczema. What You Can Do: Use Lukewarm Water – Bathe your baby in lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing the skin. Avoid Overusing Soap & Shampoo – Try switching to a mild, fragrance-free baby soap and shampoo. Moisturize – Use a gentle baby moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin. Dress in Cotton Clothes – Keep your baby’s clothing soft and breathable. Keep Skin Dry – Pat the skin dry after bathing, and avoid excessive sweating.
