What Causes Small Reddish Bumps On Face?

Small red cluster bumps on my 3 month old face. Paediatrician prescribed Canesten. Any other suggestions as to cause and treatment? Applying the cream on cheeks and temples where prevalent however he constantly has fingers in mouth which makes his face wet. Is Canesten harmful if swallowed? Never ending battle to keep fingers out
