What Causes Rosy Red Cheeks And Pimples And Suggest Treatment?

Since my 5-year-old daughter was an infant she gets rosey red cheeks and has started to develop small pimples in those areas. Is there anything that can be done? Could it be diet related. Is it eczema? Are there any over the counter medications that are safe to use to clear her skin?

Hi...by what you quote I feel it could bean eczema itself. I understand your concern. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum will help.

Eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses.

But to be sure that it is eczema and nothing else, I need to see the images as skin conditions are best diagnosed by seeing them. I suggest you upload the images in this website so that I can guide you scientifically.
