Child Has Constant Red Dot On The Cheek Since Months With White Flat Head In The Middle. What Could It Be?
HI! My 3 year old has had a red dot about the size of a pinhead on his cheek for several months now. The last week or so a flat white head has formed in the middle of it...almost like a white head on a pimple but flat. Can this be more than just a pimple? He also seems to be suffering from some type of eczema as he has areas of dry skin on his body which seem to flare up on and off, usually depending on what he eats...he s had areas of dry skin on his body since birth...can the two be related?
