What Causes Pimples On Body?
Hi, my two year old daughter always has one pimple with a white tip somewhere on her body at all times. Once the pimple pops and starts to heal another one shows up somewhere else on her body. She has had them on her face, legs, chest, and butt. This has been going on for about 7 months. There is no other rash or any other symptoms. Any idea what this could be from. Thanks, RC

dear parents,
your baby must be suffering from infantile cane. infantile acne can be caused because of the sensitivity of the skin to male harmonies like testosterone.It can also be due to other skin conditions like impetigo. which is a bacterial infection.For infantile acne mild cleanser and if sever topical antibiotic like fusidic acid or clindamycin will do. If it's impetigo you require oral antibiotics.
