Little yellow or white pinhead spots on the face are ‘milia’ or ‘baby acne’. They are caused by inexperienced skin glands unplugging themselves and are very common in the first few days and weeks. They are totally harmless. Tiny, flat, red pinhead spots, mostly on the face, neck and torso, may be heat rash. If your baby seems happy and healthy, rashes are usually not something to worry about; but if in doubt, always ask your health visitor. If your baby seems unwell (for example has a fever) with any rash, or if a rash seems to be getting worse, see your GP. Some serious illnesses like meningitis may come with a rash, but your baby will be obviously very unwell if this is happening–see here.
