See a doctor: There are quite some rashes a baby can have. It's impossible for any doctor to diagnose a rash without looking at it either. Please bring your baby to the pediatrician.

Question 5

my baby has a bump looks like a pimple on his left cheek and on the back of his left leg? what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Depends: How old is your baby?  The first few months of life babies can get many different lesions, most of which are considered normal and expected to go away if left alone. If it is red at the base, growing in size/number, appears tender (hurts if touched) then it needs to be evaluated by his doctor.  http://www.babycenter.com/101_visual-guide-to-childrens-rashes-and-skin-conditions_10332129.bc

Question 6

my baby has red bumps all over face and body, they look like pimples. he is 8 weeks old. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Newborn acne: Newborns develop baby acne around 2 weeks of age and it peaks around 6 weeks, usually gone by 12.  If your baby is in this age group, it could be newborn acne.  Your baby's pores are sensitive to changes in hormone levels(just like during the teen years) - so all those Estrogens they were exposed to during pregnancy are suddently gone - and boom - breakout!no treatment needed - be patient.

Sty: It may be the beginning of a sty.Apply warm compresses to it.
