What Causes Itchy Red Pimples On The Face?

My son has a skin reaction which is getting serious. It started as a itchy read area on his face, more around his mouth. It was dry and uncomfortable.it spread over his face and now has devloped into watery pimples, whiteheads and pimples below the skin. Its vey severe and painful.his eyes swell as though he s having an allergy attack. Cutting out ot all breadn milk and sugar and having him on a range of supplements have not helped. He keeps getting worse. We live under amountain with wet cold winters. The house has mould and I m wondering if this is causing the problem. Please help.

Dermatologist 's  Response
The symptoms are more suggestive of atopic dermatitis. It is an allergic condition.
Food restrictions would be avoiding sour spicy food, food with preservatives.
As for the treatment, I need to know his age and weight before suggesting anything.
He needs to be started with steroid creams and moisturisers with gentle cleansers like cetaphil.
Visit a dermatologist for further management
Hope this helps.
