caedmyn Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 A couple weeks ago my 9 yo got quite a bit of what looked like acne (red spots and whiteheads) on the lower part of his face. I thought he was developing acne really early, but after a couple of days the spots dried up and didn't look like acne anymore, then went away. Now my 5 yo had the same thing. Neither of them had/have a fever or spots anywhere else on their body. It's definitely not chicken pox. Google isn't helping me out any. What could this be? I'm guessing it's some sort of virus.

caedmyn Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 It could maybe be impetigo. It cleared up pretty quickly though and I didn't do anything but put lavender oil on it a few times. I should wash their pillowcases at least to be on the safe side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
