What causes red spots on baby s body?
Patient: Hi I have a newborn whose skin was clear and smooth however he began developing tiny red spots on his cheeks, which then spread to his neck, under his ears and now his torso. I m wondering if it is a heat rash or sensitivity to the laundry detergent? Doctor: Hello. I just read through your question. What you describe is consistent with baby acne.  This is harmless. Just keep it clean with plain water and it will eventually resolve.
