Hi there...
Understand every parent frets about their kids but from your pics posted it appears to be a mild form of acne.
Don't worry it will wax and wane and if you use a good quality skin cleanser to wash the face daily (avoid soap 🧼) it will go a long way to help him.
The redness and flaking around nose is called seborrheic dermatitis with a similar pathology link to acne.
A detailed history and assessment will be required and will then prescribe a skin care regimen to help him.
Kindly consider ONLINE consultation 🙏
Health Tips
Avoid OTC products and home Remedies
Food has a limited role to play in acne other than if rosacea component is present... so no particular foods need be avoided.
