How To Cure Heat Rash Like Spots On Cheecks And Fore Arms Of Child?
My daughter is 4 years old and she has heat rash like spots on her cheecks and her fore arms. on closer inspection there is something slightly sticking out of the spot that looks similar to a white head in a pimple but not as big, looks thin like cotton. i hope i am making sense.

It's likely that she is folliculitis that is infection of the hair follicles.
Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination. Local application of Mupirocin ointment will be helpful.
Take care
