Small red spots on a baby’s face may be caused by an allergic reaction or urticaria (hives). They may also occur in association with eczema. It is recommended to apply erythromycin ointment in moderation under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate symptoms. However, if the red spots are severe, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is advised.
