DS used to have great skin - occ he would get pink cheeks from the cold or a pimple here or there but otherwise perfect.
Starting a month ago he started getting what basically looks like red pimples (without ever forming a white head) on his cheek, now it is still on that cheek even worse and there are one or two scattered elsewhere on his face. I took him to the ped who said its nothing - probably just from rubbing his face on his sheet when he sleeps (in his own drool) - like clogged pores like an adult. He said try putting some aquafor on it which only made it worse.
I called the ped again who said there is nothing we can do about it - maybe try some cortisone which he wasn't crazy about since he said it could get in his mouth.
Anyone dealt with this? I really hate how it looks and DS will be in a wedding in a few wks and I don't want him to look like this!

DS is dealing with this now as he is constantly sticking his hands in his mouth. The 2 year molars are emerging and he even pulls drool out of his mouth and wipes his face in his sleep. I think it's pretty common with teething.

I didn't even think of this but, yes, DS is also getting his 2 yr molars.

Yes, I thought of this - but the ped said he didn't see any reason too. I'm going to bring him back to the ped this wk to show him how much worse it is getting and then go from there.
