My son, nearly 7 months, has red dots around his eyes, mostly in the morning. Doctor said it was just an irritation and not to worry too much about it. Today its the worst I've seen. Anyone know what this could be? Could it be allergies; an infection?

They are not blood vessels; they are almost like little pimples, some with little white heads.

If it is under the skin. It is broken blood vessels from coughing or straining. It normally goes away. If on top, it some kind of rash--If you feel the rash gets worse or enters the eye, call the doctor and make an appointment.

Does he cry at night? Its normal for babies to cry hard and have spots around their eyes from the pressure.
Try washing his blankets and bedding in a different detergent and without fabric softeners, that can rule out allergies. Even the fact that he takes a nap in the same bedding and doesnt get a rash can rule that out too.
Whatever it is, I wouldnt worry too much about it, generally that sort of thing passes, or you have an epiphany and realize that it is.

is it every morning???crying hard will put red dots around your eyes when he was letting you know he had awakened in the morning and most of all hungry !!! unless there was something he'd got into, do you have anything of toys you know of made with latex??? might be laundry detergent if you recently changed for your reasoning ???
just looked in a book called YOUR BABY'S FIRST YEAR an american academy of pediatrics ROSSpediatrics. it sounds like a kind of a dermatitis???ASK THE PEDS ABOUT IT???

Maybe he rubs his eyes a lot when he sleeps or upon waking?
