What Causes Tiny, Red Bumps On Forehead And Chin Of A Toddler?

Hello. I have an 18 month-old toddler. Just this morning i noticed that he has tiny, red bumps on his forehead and chin, although u would have to look fairly close to notice them. He also has a patch of red bumps on the upper part of his eyebrow. It doesn t seem to bother him as he is still acting like his usual self. Could you please tell me what this might be. He doesn t see his pediatrician until September.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...from the question I understand that he might be having an allergic reaction of the skin or it could be a viral exanthema. But if it is not bothering him, you need not worry. But if it spreading and if he develops fever, then it could be pyoderma or an infection of the skin and soft tissues. If this happens I suggest you consult your paediatrician immediately.
