hi my son had red dots on his chest when he was 3days old first thing i done was went straight to my gp, his advise was to leave it and not to put anything on the babies skin and just to wash him with luke warm water, but if i was in your shoes i would take your baby to the gp and get advice from him/her.

That's the same advice I'd give. My eldest sister had a baby 4 weeks ago tomorrow. When she was newborn she had a sort of rash/small red spots and it was due to being a bit hot and sweaty! My sister just made sure that jessica got air to the area and it soon got better, But i'd visit your doc because the last thing you want to do is to miss anything. Let us know if it gets better. X

ditto to bananarama,i myself had a baby who will be 4 weeks old tomorrow and she still gets a rash on the back of her neck/bottom of head due to just being hot and sweaty,the weather doesnt help but just keep her/him clean,dry and in an aired space,creams and powders may just irritate your newborn as babys skin is so fragile and sensative that it may be more harm then good,if in doubt go to your gp but im sure it will be nothing to worry about.
