What causes pimples on face and bumps on forehead of a child?
Patient: My 5 year old has pimples on his face, mostly on chin, but one one his cheek and looks like starting a few more bumps on forehead. It seems to get better over night, and then by the time I pick him up from school it looks worse. Wondering what it could be? No fever. Eating well. Doctor: HelloPimples on face in a child may be due to pyoderma,seborrhic dermatitis with secondary infection. In both the cases patient may not have fever.Atopic dermatitis itself may cause red bumps/rashes on the face.In case of pyoderma or secondary infection treatment with antibiotic is needed. In atopic dermatitis treatment of seborrhea along with application of emollient/mild steroid is required.I would advise you to consult a pediatrician for clinical examination and management accordingly.Regards
