Likely 'baby acne': If the rash is restricted to the face/neck its likely a variant of acne and will not harm the child. In rare cases it can be severe enough to merit medical treatment, but if its an eruption of small whitehead or small red bumps than i'd simply let it run its course.

Patience: Baby acne is a common and temporary problem.It usually appears by age 2 weeks and disappears by 3 months. Keeping the skin clean is the major plan. If it persists after 3 months and or intensifies, some normal ace treatments can be beneficial, but the doc should look into unusual hormonal issues as a cause at that point.
