A member asked:
My 5 yo son has 3 white pimple-looking spots on his knee. are these contagious and/or need treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to know: Really need to see them but could be molluscum, bites, infection of hair follicles, or a number of other things. If they have been there a while and haven't changed much i'd think more likely molluscum.
