why my 2years old is having pimples and dark necks

Question

Accepted Answer

It's understandable to be concerned about your 2-year-old having pimples and a dark neck. The pimples could be due to several common childhood skin conditions like baby acne (even at this age, it can sometimes linger or reappear), heat rash, or irritation from new products or fabrics. The dark neck could be acanthosis nigricans, a condition often associated with insulin resistance or being overweight, but it can also have other less common causes.
It is important to get a proper diagnosis from a pediatrician. They can examine your child and determine the exact cause of both the pimples and the dark neck. Based on the diagnosis, they can recommend the appropriate treatment or management plan. Please schedule an appointment with your child's doctor as soon as possible for accurate advice.
