Hi,
It is due to bacterial infections. Keep the baby away from dust and dirt. It is called as impetigo. It can easily spread to other areas as well. use a medicated soap. If needed you may use Fusiderm ointment over the skin.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rajmohan, Pediatrician
