A member asked:

My baby's been developing small welts and redness on his face, looking a little like rash. what causes it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infantile rash: This could be a number of things depending on the age of your child. Anything from erythema toxicum neonatorum to infantile acne are all potentially possible. I would recommend you have your pediatrician have a look first, and if your child is behaving like he/she is sick then sooner than later.
