Some problem
Dear, doctor.
A 12-day-old baby has developed some blister-like bumps with white heads on the vein of their forehead; there is no fever, and the baby is feeding and behaving normally. The parents are worried about these bumps. Will this go away on its own? Thanks.

Greetings
white-headed bumps are likely common newborn milia or acne.They are completely harmless and usually clear up on their own.Since the baby feeds well and has no fever, stay calm.Gently clean the forehead using plain lukewarm water and pat dry.Do not scratch, squeeze, or pop any of these bumps.Consult a pediatrician if the skin becomes red, swollen, or oozes

Hi
The white heads on forehead are normal. If the blisters you are talking about are just red marks with no pus, then these will resolve on it’s own. But there are many pus containing blisters then it is cause of concern. Get your baby examined.

Mostly a normal rash seen after birth
If spreading or increasing in size get your child checked by a pediatrician in person
