Hi

How old is your sister?

Differentials for this will be varicella or chicken pox, acne of the nodular or cystic type, rosacea, a sweat rash and a photosensitivity reaction .Other differentials may include a dermatitic skin condition or an underlying infectious process.

At this point, do not apply any creams or lotions in the area without a physician's thorough examination of your sister's condition.

Was this recent in onset or is the skin condition present for quite sometime already?
