What are these spots?

Does anyone know what these spots are on my 5 month old? There only on his face, not his body and There on both cheeks and forehead. He has had them for about 3 months now, I've took him the doctors multiple times and they don't seem to know what they are, they have prescribed him different creams, nothing is working! I only wash his face with warm water. I am taking him back the doctors and telling them to send him to a dermatologist but just while I wait, does anyone have any idea what these could be? They are driving me crazy🤣 they don't bother him at all. New ones seem to pop up every other day. I've tried to get the clearest picture I can. Thanks in advance:)

If you are breast feeding, Try rubbing a little breast milk on them, cleared my baby's right up.

I've heard other people saying this, unfortunately I don't breastfeed anymore

I'm thinking acne, too. Use a mild unscented soap once a day. It does tend to run it's course as well.

All my children had baby acne, it looked just like this, I just rub breastmilk on it a few times a day and it seemed to work, it only lasted a few weeks or so each time. I wouldn't be putting any lotions or potions on it personally unless prescribed, I always just used water on my children to wash their faces.

Has the GP done a skin test to check for bacterial/fungal infection?
