My 7 month old has started with one red little spot on his face on Saturday and now Tuesday he’s got about 6 on his face and both cheeks and they’ve got bigger?? Is it just eczema or something else??

more than likely chicken pox. Keep him at home and stock up on oats for putting in his bath and soothing cream for itching etc

Impossible for anyone to say from your description. See your GP.

See your GP. Could be chicken pox.

Baby acne/eczema doesn't suddenly come on at this age.

Could be hand foot and mouth. Take a trip to the GP or pharmacist for advice.

Now that your photo is up, they look a bit crusty like impetigo. I would see the GP.

Ask a pharmacist

You need to at least go to a pharmacist, but preferably a doctor. People here can't be diagnosing a baby with anything.
