Our 7 year old ds has had mysterious spots on his nose for around 4 weeks now. He has quite a number (20 or so) red spots on his nose and around his nostrils that look a bit like acne - no blisters, no weeping but they look angry. At times they look like they are going (sometimes nearly gone) but then they suddenly come back all angry. I booked GP appointment and whilst waiting for this used Canesten cream - now been on it for a week and no improvement. GP said just use the cream. He also has very itchy hands - constantly scratching his hands on palms and fingertips. The nose is not itchy and there is no rash on his hands..... very odd! We are going away for 3 months early next week and want to get this sorted.
