What To Do For The Pimple Above The Lip In A Child?
And kind Im concerned because my 5 yr old got 2 tiny pimple lookin spots right above his lip and apparently scratched them and they went away but a day later he got a very small pimple looking spot on his nose and then a day after that it was much larger but kind of hard then he scratched it and it bled for just a second now its really red and very hard. I have never seen this and I'm concerned about what I should do...he doesn't have any anywhere else. Thank you!

Welcome to the healthcaremagic
These are furuncles due to sterptoccocal infection which are more common in summer.It occurs due to improper cleaning.Because of which dust and sebum are not cleaned properly. Treatment required is mupirocin ointment for mild lesion and addition of oral antibiotic for more widespread lesion
