A. Small bumps that look like "a box" on a six-month-old baby could be caused by several things. Some common possibilities include: 1. Heat Rash (Miliaria): Tiny red or clear bumps caused by blocked sweat ducts, especially in warm or humid conditions. These often appear on the neck, back, chest, or folds of the skin. 2. Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Dry, itchy patches of skin that may develop small bumps. The skin may appear rough or feel like sandpaper in certain areas. 3. Milia: Small white bumps that can appear on a baby's face or body. These are caused by trapped keratin and usually resolve on their own. 4. Contact Dermatitis: Red, raised bumps due to an allergic reaction to something the baby has come in contact with, like soap, detergent, or lotion. 5. Viral Rashes: Some viral infections, like roseola or hand-foot-and-mouth disease, can cause small bumps or a rash that may look like small boxes or patches. If the bumps persist, seem to be causing discomfort, or are accompanied by other symptoms like fever, itching, or spreading, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatrician to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
