Hi,

I understand your concerns.

A photograph of the bumps are advised to analyze them further for a more specific opinion.

If your child is having such problems for long time without any solution, my advice is to get him evaluated by dermatologist in order to determine the right diagnosis and take appropriate treatment.

For the moment, I advise to keep a good hygienic measures, always wash his hands with warm water and soap.

All the best!
