A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing is needed: If your baby has "heat rash" on the forehead or cheeks (generally called milia) it is best to gently wash your baby's face with soap and water with a wash clothe twice a day for a week avoid steroid creams! you may apply a small amount of aquaphor cream to the face once a day. Avoid scented lotions. If this does not resolve in two weeks see you pediatrician.
