Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Is she having fever? How are the lesions- itchy / fluid filled / pus filled? It was helpful if you can send us a picture. In hot and humid climate, most likely this is milia- small pimples over the skin due to clogging and blockage of sweat glands. In absence of secondary infection (painful / edematous / pus filled), this does not require any specific treatment other than avoiding direct sunlight and keeping the skin cool with wet moping 3-4 times a day(apart from routine bath).

If itchy, I used to give calamine lotion and antihistamine like levocetirizine for few days. In short, if she is not febrile and the lesions are not with surrounding edema / pain / tenderness / pus filled- this does not indicate bacterial infection- hence no need of antibiotics and no chance of blood contamination.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
