Is Medical Attention Required For A Small Pimple On Cheek Of 7 Month Old Baby?

My 7 month old son has had one red pimple like spot on his cheek for about 6 weeks now. It has no white head but is slightly inflamed and hard on the top. It is about the size of a pin head and seems to give no pain or irritation. Does it need treating or will it go away eventually?

Hi..by what you quote I feel that it could be a prolonged fungal infectioin or an eczema with secondary infection.But, skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
