Some smaller areas on face now.  No pain, no change in child's behavior,appetite or sleeping patterns.  ruled out flea bites and don't think poison ivy. please remit Thank You in advance  Joanne  

Answer
Perhaps is eczema, or tinea etc...could you take some web cam pictures? (panoramics and close-up; or ordinary pictures  by a digital camara); also you could go to a photos store to take the pictures. if yes, please send them like attachment to jvelasq51@hotmail.com  with the words JMC in the subject of your mail message (if don't put this words, your mail is discarded by the system). If not, I highly suggest that you make an appointment to see a board certified dermatologist preferably one at university teaching hospitals.
If there is ever anything I can do to give something back to you, feel free to tell it, to answer your questions.
Sincerely,
Uribe.
