What Causes Red Spots On Abdomen, Buttocks And Back In An Infant?

My son is 18 months old. This very morning I took my son in for his routine check up. I asked his doctor, the very same who he has been seeing since birth, about a few red spots that showed up on his tummy, diaper area, and back. She really had nothing to say about it. So I wasn t concerned. Now it is nightime and I just put him to sleep. He doesn t have fever. Has not had any fever at all the past week or so. But while he was in the bath tub right before bedtime, I noticed even more red spots on his back. No where else. Just more on the back. They do no seem to bother him. He has not had a fever or shown any other signs of illness. What could these dots possibly be? They are small red spots, not raised bumps.

sometimes allergic rash too can cause these red spots. put on some calamine lotion on these spots 3 times a day and see if they subside if not then consult a detmatologist
