Does Eczema Cause Whiteheads And Bumps On Face?
My 11 month old grandson has whiteheads on his face and extremities. The Dr says it is eczyma but the rash is not itchy, weepy. When my grandson is active or in the sun the bumps on his face will turn pink. Also he has a mild case of cradlecap. Not sure what to do to help the rash go away.

Hello,
White heads are formed due to blockage of sweat pores with dirt and sealing of these pores. White heads can be removed with use of mild abrasive. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for clinical assessment for diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
