Brief Answer:
They are harmless. Not a cause for concern. Nothing needs to be done.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Congrats on having a baby. In newborns, there is an entity called erythema toxicum which are harmless and pretty normal to occur. Nothing needs to be done about it. I would better be able to comment had there been an image attached. I would really appreciate if you could upload an image using the facility on the upper right of this page.

Please do not grow apprehensive.
