Pimples With Pus On Eye, Back And Ear. Worry?
Hi my 8 year old son has been having pimples that develope into big pimples with pus. They come out slowly ( one at a time) for a week and on the seventh day they disappear. He stays a week and on the second week it comes out elsewhere. Last week it was on one eye. This week its on the other eye. Last month it was on his back and ear. I am getting worried now

Hello,
Welcome to health care magic.
From your description it seems that your son has a bacterial infection of the skin called as impetigo.
It is very common in children , especially in summers.
He will need a course of oral antibiotics. Please consult your dermatologist who will give you the appropriate antibiotic.
Don't worry. It is easily treatable.
Hope this helped.
