Babies often get a kind of rash called milia, usually about two weeks after birth.
It looks like small tiny white bumps or spots across the tip of the nose or chin, caused by skin gland secretion. They appear raised but feel almost flat and smooth. It usually peaks when babies are about 3 weeks old, and clears within a month or six weeks. It's so common that many professional photographers suggest delaying baby pictures until after the fourth week, when your baby's skin is likely to be clear again. Some babies have spots too, which also clear by about 6 weeks.
