sour cream works in bleaching skin a little bit. I would say bleach but PLEASE don't put bleach on the face of 6 year old kid. I never had a problem with making my skin ligh after getting tan.

she might have a rash, which is normal for little kids to get. Most likely she has a yeast infection. No matter what, go to the pediatrician and maybe get her on some antibiotics.

Oh, I am so sorry for you both. I would go to a naturopathic doctor and get her off all that stuff. You can get rid of this condition but because of her age, I hesitate to give you too much info. Her body is building mucus and her adrenal glands are probably stressed and her poor liver is trying to process all that medication. Doctors and meds are good but if you aren't getting results, you need to find a reputable ND. In a short time she should be completely well with no meds. Please look into this. My daughter was on similar meds when she was young and it really played havoc with her spleen and liver. It took 3 months with an ND and she was finally well. Because of all the drugs, she developed a horrible case of eczema. It almost covered her whole body! It is completely gone. Yes, there is a cure for eczema. I had it too and we have been free of it for 9 years. I had allergies and asthma and that is gone as well. My daughter is 20 and very healthy now.\n\nA good chiroprator with herbal knowledge might be your answer too. There are other choices.

She needs to see a doctor hon, she could have a hormonal problem.  It ain't gonna go away and hair removal cream will make it worse as it's a delicate area.

I would see a derm. and see what they say.   I had some really bad sun damage on my face once and it scarred me up and the dr. gave me retin-a which improved the scars so much they are hardly even visible.    It took about 4 months of this to see a difference.

Sorry to say, not really. This is one of the most common viral infections kids pass around, increasingly so over the past several decades as more and younger kids have gone into daycare with less prepared immune systems. But it isn't really harmful, has no long term side effects and runs its course in 6-9 months. Just wash your hands, make sure he washes his, which is always good practice anyway, as you know.  Keep the sheets clean weekly, probably no overnights with non - infected friends.\nCheck with your doctor to be sure what I am saying is correct, and don't be too upset over it all.\n\nI just did a rapid google check and came up with a lot of sites purporting to have miracle cures for molluscum contagiosum. I would be very careful before investing in or using any such remedy. That is why I won't list any of the sites I came across here b/c I don't want to seem as if I am somehow endorsing them. I will tell you that my son had this also when he was four and I took him to the dermatologist who put freezing drops on each wart and froze them off. I had to bring him in every week for about a month til we got them all and this was over 15 years ago. I am glad that I was using a licensed dermatologist though, you know why?????\n\nBecause at the very end of his treatment, my son and two year old daughter came down with chicken pox which initially looked exactly like the molluscum to me and if I had been treating them MYSELF, being a DR. MOM, I would have put something for warts on a chicken pock and maybe really scarred them for life. Of course the real doctor recognized immediately what was wrong.\n\nGo see a skin doctor. That would be best.

ok is it hyperpigmentation(darkening) or hypopigmentation(whitening) you havent mentioned?? i presume it to be hyper cos u very well know bout MELATONIN ...yes that is the pigment present in skin... the pattern involving nose then spreading to cheeks is rather disturbing specially if you r a female and i recommend that u show to a good dermatologist or medicine doctor it might be SLE but u better confirm first before gettin trippy.... HQ-5 lotion by Debut Pharmaceuticals helps but u must first show to a dermatologist....

They start out first looking like pimples that then fill up with fluid. You can almost watch more appear. Take her to a doctor to check as it is something you need to confirm as she will need to know when she is older if she has had them.\nIf it is chicken pox the best way to deal with the itchiness (and cheapest) get an old stocking and fill with uncooked oatmeal add it to a bath and let her lay in it. It really helped my kids. When the bath is finished just pull out the stocking empty it into the bin and redo when the scrathing starts again. I used a good antihistemene at night though as this not only stopped the scratching it helped them sleep. Good Luck

Why not try an optometrist.  She may need glasses, could be corrected.  Don't wait till she starts school.  Kids can be cruel.  Happened to me.  Fine now!

Others seem to think it may be chicken pox.  That may indeed be the case.  In that instance, you may want to get her in to the pediatrician right away.  Sometimes, a call to the physician with a description of the symptoms may be enough to give you direction.\n\nIt also sounds as simple as heat rash, commonly known as "prickly heat."  (The latin term is miliaria rubra.)  You didn't indicate if the spots are raised or flat.  In prickly heat, her skin is reacting to a surface that it was exposed to, ie: her pillow, mattress, etc., and sweat has become trapped.  Although it generally appears on other parts of the body, it can appear on the face, depending upon where the exposure was.\n\nIf prickly heat is determined, then washing with a soft, clean washcloth, warm water, and a gentle soap is in order.  Certainly, a trip to her pediatrician should be next.  He may suggest nothing more strong than calamine lotion.\n\nI hope, for her sake, that it is something simple and not a more involved childhood illness.  In either event, quarantine her from the other family members, particularly if they are not innoculated or have not previously been exposed to chicken pox.

I think you are talking about melasma which is a darkening of the skin, usually seen in women.  It is often related to female hormones either in the birth control pill or in pregnancy.  There are a few medicines you can put on your skin for them but melasma gets better in a few months after the hormones levels come down.  I would use a sun block and a hat during the hot part of the day. Hope that helps!  Good luck!

If you have a doctor, see if he will prescribe ProActive. However, if you want to save money, wash your face at least 3 times a day with a good astringent. Wash first in hot water to open the pores, cleanse with an astringent and rinse in warm water. Then Rinse your face again with cold water to close the pores. This works well, but it will take a little while to clear the blemishes up. My daughter has this problem, and she does what I suggested, and her face is clear now. Try not to use hair spray, because it clogs your pores. Another thing my daughter uses is a mud facial masque, it's by Helene Curtis, not really expensive. She puts it on before she goes to bed, (you're supposed to wash it off after 15 minutes) but she leaves it on all night and washes it off when she gets up. Good luck!
