What is this on DS' face?! Photo included.

DS developed this Rash thing around his face a few days ago. It wasn't this bad at first and I just assumed it was dry skin from the cold and have been applying moisturiser but it's gotten worse and my DM thinks I should take him to the GP.

Anyone have any ideas what it could be or is it just dry skin from the cold?

Try the pharmacist. I'd say maybe impetigo.

I would think impetigo. Try the pharmacist tomorrow who will either advise or tell you if they think you need to go to the Drs.

Also, he said it's not sore or itchy.

My daughter has similar at the moment. The pharmacist told us to use E45 regularly with a thick layer at night and it seems to have done the job
