Brief Answer:
Will go away on its own
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and have checked the images. Let me inform you that the rashes are called Erythema Toxicum while the white dots are called milia, both of which are normal in children up to 3 months of age.
It is harmless and is not a cause for concern. No intervention needed.
Please do not worry. Feel free to write back.
