Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Though you have given a good description of the skin condition you have not mentioned where the lesions are and how many? It is very difficult to give any guidance without having a look at them. As they are not troubling him I suggest that you consult your doctor who will be in a better position to guide you.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your son all the best.

Regards,
