hi
welcome to healthcare magic forum .
acne in child is due to hormonal effect from the mother
you need not to worry as they will subside .
tell me the content of cream ,if it is clindamycin ,continue it .
dont pick ,popped it .
better to consult dermatologist
if he has infection than he need short course of antibiotic.
