Its nothing to worry..it will subside on its own usually...if there is redness,warmth and if baby is crying on touching that area,its better to get a physical examination

This looks like a small blocked skin pore/keratin cyst near the nipple. It is usually harmless and often resolves on its own. No treatment is required currently. Please avoid squeezing it and seek review if redness, swelling, pain, fever, or discharge develops.

Normal white colour pearl is due to collection of skin cells. No need to do anything. It will gradually fade away.

This is a physiological phenomenon, you dont have to worry about it.
If the chest is tender, redness is present , warm to touch then you need to visit a doctor nearby.
If there is no redness no inflammation then you need not to worry as it resolves spontaneously once the hormonal level's stabilizes
Generally in starting days of life there are elevated levels of estrogen and prolactin (maternal hormones may cross placenta) and can cause this kind of visible mark

Greetings
localized feature resembles a benign epidermal inclusion cyst, which shares visual characteristics with an isolated congenital milium of the nipple, a tiny accumulation of trapped skin protein. Other medical possibilities for a small, non-inflammatory white nodule on a baby's chest area include temporary physiological blockages from residual maternal hormone exposure, a small localized sebaceous gland, or an early-stage harmless cyst. Most of these harmless, non-inflammatory neonatal bumps resolve automatically over several weeks or months as the baby's skin
