Question
What are the causes of newborns getting pimples on their faces?
Answer
Based on your description, the red, white-headed tiny bumps appearing on a newborn’s face are likely due to heat rash. Heat rash often occurs within a few days after birth, especially during hot weather or when the baby is dressed too warmly. Prevention methods include maintaining a comfortable room temperature, avoiding overheating, and ensuring daily ventilation to keep the air in the room circulating. Additionally, avoid using hot water for baby baths as this may worsen the swelling symptoms. If the baby’s rash is accompanied by fever or other symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
