Brief Answer:
Milia. Not a cause for concern

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and have checked the attached image. Let me assure you that the rash is nothing concerning. It is called milia and occurs due to deposition of dead skin cells under the skin. Application of creams will not help. Nothing needs to be done about it. It may be there for a while. No need to worry.
