Brief Answer:
Normal Eruptions.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
These seems to be normal eruptions of new born.
They go away with time.
In case there is any pus discharge or they increase then topical steroids with topical antibiotic creams would be required.
At present I won't recommend any treatment.
If you have any further query please ask me.
