What is Pediatric Dermatology?
Pediatric Dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. Children’s skin differs from adult skin in sensitivity, structure, and response to treatment — requiring gentle, specialized care.
Common Pediatric Skin Conditions
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) – Dry, itchy, and inflamed skin.
Cradle Cap (Seborrheic Dermatitis) – Scaly patches on the baby’s scalp.
Diaper Rash – Red, irritated skin caused by moisture and friction.
Insect Bite Sensitivity – Allergic reactions leading to swelling or redness.
Viral Warts and Molluscum – Contagious skin growths caused by viruses.
Fungal or Bacterial Infections – Ringworm, impetigo, or folliculitis.
Birthmarks and Pigment Changes – Monitoring and management as the child grows.
Juvenile Acne – Early-onset acne in adolescents.
