Possible Skin Conditions

The below pictures illustrate skin diseases found on children's chins. Since the chin is frequently touched, it is prone to rashes such as ringworm (a fungal rash) and impetigo (honey-colored, crusty sores) that are contagious. Other itchy rashes include dermatides, which are common on the face and may be found only on a child's chin. Common skin conditions such as moles and warts can be located on the chin as well. Blemishes, such as those produced by acne and the pearly white, wart-like bumps of molluscum contagiosum, are common on the chin of children.
