Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have severe redness and small dots on the face of a child which could be due to allergic reactions to substances causing irritation of the skin , dermatitis, or eczema , contact dermatitis. you should apply topical benzoyl peroxide gel once or twice daily would have been best in this type of situation. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses on them , take anti histamine like bendryl , do not pick them at all , protect skin from direct sunlight and apply moisturizer. You can apply combination of topical adapalene and nadifloxacin gel at night. If condition doesn't get better then consult pediatrician for proper examination and rule out cause like bullous pemphigoid . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid or antibiotics course .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
