What Do Small Rashes On Body Of An Infant Indicate?

Milia , normal newborn rash, will go away
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
The image looks like milia.
This is a normal newborn rash, no need to worry.
Milia are tiny white bumps that most commonly appear across a baby's nose, chin or cheeks. In fact, up to half of all babies develop milia. You can't prevent milia, but the good news is that milia usually disappear on their own in a few weeks. The best treatment for milia is usually none at all.
Mild washing during normal bath is all that is required.
If the rashes persists for more than 3 months or becomes bigger and swollen,
then you need to consult your doctor to rule out bacterial infection like acne
Wishing your child speedy recovery.
Regards
DR Arun
