What Causes Pimples On The Face In A 13 Month Old?
Hi - my thirteen month old son has suddenly developed pimples on his face over the last 10 days. He is a healthy weight and height and has never had any medical problems. The pimples do not seem to be bothering him but he has been quite off colour recently. Could this be something more than some sort of infant acne?

he should wash his face at least twice daily, try not to touch them or burst them
he can apply an over the counter medications for acne as resorcinol which breaks down white and black heads or benzoyl peroxide which is a peeling agent
