Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have checked the attached image. The small pimples are called milia which are caused due to deposition of dead skin cells (generated in course of normal turnover) under the skin. It is normal in babies of this age and is not a cause for concern.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
