Hi Dear

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of red spots on face, neck and shoulders which seems to be due to poor immunity of body leading to allergic reaction. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to try to cover these area whenever you exposed to sunlight. Visit dermatologist/ pediatrician once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined. You should go for skin patch test and blood test and start treatment as per diagnosis. Yes you should apply atoniode gel on skin of child. apply aloe vera gel as well. Avoid touching or pricking spots of child.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr.Harry Maheshwari
