Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have small black spots on the face which is very common because of clogged pores due to which dead skin and bacteria gets entrapped in them and started causing blockage. I would suggest you to wash face with face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day. You should apply cream containing azelaic acid. You should exfoliate your face twice a week specially with non comedogenic exfoliant. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper checkup and to rule out any underlying disease . Doctor may prescribe antibiotic clindamycin or isotretinoin. You can go for chemical peeling, microabrasion and dermaabrasion as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
