Possible Skin Conditions

This page contains information relating to skin concerns often found on the forehead specific to children. The forehead is an open area on the face that is susceptible to rashes spread from other areas, such as molluscum contagiosum (pearly white bumps) and acne. Conditions such as warts and moles (nevi) can also be found on the forehead, as well as whitish areas of skin called vitiligo. Since the forehead is so close to the scalp, it can also be affected by dry, flaky skin that appears like dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis). Click any photo below for more information.
