You need to apply soothing lactocalamine lotion on the area of skin taking care to avoid putting near eyes or mouth. Also see that child is well hydrated and eating well. Better to apply sunscreen lotion SPF 25 to protect against UV rays. Child needs to wear a hat which will protect face as well. Show to Dermatologist if it is not reducing.
