Can Penaten Cream Cause White Pimples On The Forehead?
The other morning my 5 year old daughter woke up wiht a rather large "white headed" pimple on her forhead, as the day went on and today, she has a few more ..... i was putting an oily penaten cream in those areas for her dry skin.. could that have clogged her pores and caused this? Any help would be appreciated.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really understand your concern, certain commercially available cosmetic product of baby product some works as growth medium for the bacteria and this could cause skin infection something like this might have happened here in your daughter's case now the condition can be treated with local antibiotic first, if this does not responds then oral antibiotic may be added, Erythromycin cream for local application, and Erythromycin syrup for oral, hope this helps.
