Pimple/acne on forehead
Hi Dr. My daughter is 6.5 years old she has developed these small pimples on her forehead. Earlier it was only 1 but now there are many. It's been a month these pimples are not going away. They don't itch or bleed nor they pain. Pls suggest treatment. I am not sure if they are pimple or acne or something else.
