My 1 month has tiny white spots on her back :( are these milk spots

[aleshaxxx]

Hi all

Before I head to the doctors (last place I want to be with a month old baby) my daughter has just come up with these white spots on her back has anyone seen anything like these

My daughter had them but on her face and neck. We went to the doctors and were told its normal and will go away. She is 7 weeks, and got them around 2 weeks till about 5 weeks. I dont want to tell you its nothing to worry about, but they look the same as what my daughter had x

When dd had them they were identical to your dds. Mine is 16 now but we still have the photos around where she was covered in them.

I'm not a medical professional, but if you're concerned is it possible to see if a midwife could have a look at a health clinic or similar? That's how I found out what dd's rash was.

Don't quote me on this, OP, but it could be milia. It's common in infants.

My older son had it when he was an infant, but he didn't have it grouped together like your DD does. Instead, they appeared on his arms here and there, like two on one arm and two on the other. He didn't seem to be in any pain, and they disappeared after a week or so, and then a new batch would crop up. Eventually he stopped getting it.

Definitely take her to a doctor, though, for your own peace of mind.

Does she have cradle cap? My son had a similar rash all over his body, it looked horrendous but he didn't seem too bothered by it. It was misdiagnosed a couple of times and then diagnosed as seborrhoeic dermatitis (cradle cap but on the rest of the body as well as the scalp.)

It eventually cleared up. We were using emollients which appeared to help.
