Please look carefully at his face, and tell me please if the black dots on his are due to sickness ? I have seen people with many more dots like that on the face.
Do you know why those are there ?
Thanks

From the picture it is not clear what the dots are, they could be moles or pimples, etc and even a certified dermatologist is not going to give you a diagnosis from a picture off the web. If you are truly concerned about this condition, have him see a doctor.
