Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptom you described suggest seborrhic dermatitis. It's common but benign condition in newborn. It generally resolves its own in some weeks to few months. generally between 6 to 12 months. Continue exclusive breast feeding and routine vaccination for the child.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
