Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

If the red spots on your son's abdomen are not causing any problems then I suggest that you wait and watch.

Flaxseed oil can be given but the dose should be appropriate for his age. As you have not mentioned his age and the dose suggested by the naturopath I am not in a position to guide you there.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your son all the best.
