Possible Skin Conditions

This page contains images and information about medical concerns affecting the male infant's cheek. A baby's cheek shares the same thin and delicate skin as the rest of the face, so it is often prone to infection and irritation. Some frequent complaints include eczema, sixth disease (roseola), pityriasis alba, cradle cap (dandruff), milia, birthmarks, ringworm (tinea faciale), and impetigo. The pictures below illustrate these complaints.
