Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of bite marks on the face. Need not to worry. First of all wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. Also drink 5-6 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply Clindamycin gel and Benzoyl peroxide containing gel over the acne. you should apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals.Avoid any steroid based cream and apply kojic acid containing cream over face twice a day as it is a mushroom extract and safe for long term use. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-abrasion and chemical peeling. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
