What Does A Pimple Like Bump On Chest Of A Child Indicate?
My 5 year old son has a pimple like bump, or wart like ( I'm not sure) on his chest. It was smooth under the skin, and has now rose out with still a smooth texture but it looks like a whitehead. He said this morning, as it now looks like it's going down, that it hurts. What could this possibly be a symptom of?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of pimple like bump on chest which occur when there is clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply Meladerm cream and it is purely safe to use. Avoid touching or pricking these areas. Maintain complete hygiene of area. Exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. Drink plenty of fluids. Also wash area with mild soap and cold water twice a day. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course and can also go for chemical peel as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
