Hello,

Pin line rash under the eyes can be due to some viral or bacterial infection. First wash your child & let him take a shower after applying an antibacterial soap.

You can apply topical ointments like lactocalamine or neosporin oitment. It should go away in a week.

If the rashes are resistant you should have it physically examined to rule out varicella or chicken pox, etc. Your child may need a full course of antibiotics.

In the meantime do not share the toiletries & maintain hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
