The below pictures illustrate skin diseases found on children's chins. Since the chin is frequently touched, it is prone to rashes such as ringworm (a fungal rash) and impetigo (honey-colored, crusty sores) that are contagious. Other itchy rashes include dermatides, which are common on the face and may be found only on a child's chin. Common skin conditions such as moles and warts can be located on the chin as well. Blemishes, such as those produced by acne and the pearly white, wart-like bumps of molluscum contagiosum, are common on the chin of children.
