Are Rashes And Acne On A Toddler Due To An Allergy Or Vitamin Deficiency?
Question: Hi Doctor
My son is 1 Year 4 Months old. From last three to Four months we are observing some rashes/acne observing on his skin. I don't know how to explain those are not exactly rashes/acnes, looks like water bubbles but not exactly same, that's why i have taken a picture and attached in this request for better understanding. He does not have pain or sprain for this.
Currently he has same one on forehead, one on elbow and one on his back. And also he is started getting one more on his forehead and one or two on lower lip.
Is this any allergy or any vitamin deficiency or any this else?
I tried to explain it my best, hope you understand. Let me know if you need more detail i can mention here.
Thanks...!!
