POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. Milia and pimples on your 6-year-old’s face are common and usually not a cause for concern. Milia are small, white, cyst-like bumps that occur when keratin gets trapped under the skin’s surface, often around the nose, eyes, or cheeks. Pimples can develop due to oil buildup in the skin or minor skin irritation.
To manage these, gently wash your child's face twice a day with a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser to avoid irritation. Avoid squeezing or picking at the pimples or milia, as this can lead to scarring or infection. For milia, they usually resolve on their own with time, but if they persist, you can consult a pediatric dermatologist for advice on safe treatment options.
If the pimples appear to be acne or if the condition worsens, it may be helpful to consult with a pediatrician to rule out any underlying causes or to discuss over-the-counter topical treatments suitable for children. Avoid using harsh products, and keep the skin moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.
