What Could Bumps/rashes Around The Mouth And Chin Suggest?

My eleven year old son has bump around his mouth and chin. A couple of bumps around his mouth have pulse in the them. The bumps in the corner of his mouth and chin kind of look like a rash. This has been going on for 2 days now. He looked a lot better yesterday but this morning it looks worse. His mouth area skin was very dry when he woke up.

Hi,

Your explanation is pointing towards either Eczematous reaction or a viral infection like Herpes. So for a confirmation a clinical examination and investigation like blood test and microscopy of scraping from the lesions can be done.

For now you can do cool compresses over the area and apply an emollient. Also if there is itching apply Caladryl lotion or Benadryl cream. In case if there is allergy then anti-allergic medicine like Benadryl oral can be advised.

For viral infection antiviral medication like Acyclovir can be advised.

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