Hello
Looks more of an insect bite. If the redness is increasing with baby getting irritable and has pud collection in it consult your paediatrician.meanwhile you can use calosoft or Atarax lotion. Avoid scratching on those areas.

Erythema toxicum neonatorum (often searched as infectiosum neonatorum or toxic erythema of the newborn) is a very common, harmless, and temporary skin rash that affects up to half of healthy full-term infants. [1, 2]
Despite the outdated part of older naming conventions, it is not an infection, is not toxic, and does not require any medical treatment. [1, 2]
