Red dots on baby's head
Hi Doc,
While massaging, I noticed 3 small red dots on my baby's head (2.5 months old). Since his head is full of hairs, I do not know if these are there since birth or came lately.
Also dandruff type stuff is there which might be start of cradle cap but I am concerned about these 3 red dots. Attaching the pictures along.
Baby's weight, sleep and feeding seems to be normal.
