Question 3

Accepted Answer

May be an ant bite.: A singular simple red circular spot with a slightly raised white center--comparable to a pimple most frequently signals an insect bite. Ants are famous for triggering isolated papules akin to this. Other insects may cause a similar reaction as well, but tend to be more in clusters such as from flea bites or bed bugs. You might carefully inspect the play and sleep areas to search for crawling bugs.

I think it would be: safe to watch it.  It is really pretty common. Petechiae is the name given to these dot-like red spots. Signs that you should seek further evaluation include more develop, they expand in size, they ulcerate or open up, they are painful or itchy. If this is just an isolated dot, nothing further needs to be done. Stay well:)
