Consider Milia: If rash include pinpoint, raised dots consider milia. Milia are seen in infants but can occur in children and adults. Usually do not have really red base but secondary milia can develop after trauma to the skin - burns, abrasions, or in blistering disorders. Milia can develop suddenly and can be unilateral (eruptive milia). Benign, self-limited lesions usually require no treatment.

Hemangioma: Many children are born with vascular anomalies on parts of their body termed hemangioma. Common sites are the face, back and buttocks area. Some will fade over time, but some may disturb function and need partial or complete resection Some may respond to injections of steroid or beta blockers. Discuss your child's with your pediatrician for the best option.
