What Do Brown Rashes On The Cheeks Of A Child Indicate?
My 9 year old daughter has about 6, brown, circular, raised rough patches on her cheek. It is only on her left check closer to her mouth and a little under her chin. These spots are not any where else on her body. There is a rough patch on her right check, close to her mouth but you cannot see it, you can feel it. What could this possible be?

Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern
1. you should consult a pediatrician [face to face interaction] since one has to exclude three important causes of the same:
. infection
. allergies
. systemic condition [nutritional deficiencies, zinc/calcium] otherwise it could be simple pityriasis alba [benign condition] and cured with good moisturizer and topical steroid cream
