Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of pin prick like rashes on chest and face which is due to allergic reaction, infection of hair follicles, hormonal changes, skin infection and overexposure to sunlight. Need not worry. I would suggest you to exfoliate your skin once a week to remove the dead skin and apply vitamin E oil before going to bed. Apply cream containing atelier acid. If condition doesn't get well or get worse than consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin along with isotretinoin and corticosteroid cream. You should get hair follicle test as well and start treatment after that. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
