Child Have Blackheads Like Appearance Under The Arms?

My twin 6 year olds (boy and girl) have what looks like blackheads under their arms. My son much more so, my daughter barely. One was slightly infected on my son and that s how I found them. Is this what they are or do I need to have them checked out. They are pretty small! Thanks, Kim

Hi...by what you quote I feel that it could be an eczema. But skin conditions are best diagnosed and treated after seeing them. So I suggest you upload the images in this website and get back to us.
