A member asked:

My 11 week old son has tiny red bumps at the side of his neck. no other symptoms. what should i do? can i apply a&d ointment ?

Reply: Yes you sure can, most of the babies have these bumps in the folds of neck usually due to local irritaion due to milk or oral secretions getting collected in the folds of neck. Keep that area dry and use a& d as needed.
