Neonatal Dermatology

Neonatal dermatology focuses on skin conditions and care specific to newborns, typically those up to one month old. Newborns often experience unique skin changes due to their transition from the womb to the outside world. Common issues include rashes, birthmarks, and skin infections. Pediatric dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating these conditions, ensuring that babies have healthy skin as they grow. The goal is to address any skin concerns early, promote healing, and provide parents with guidance on proper skincare for their newborns. Understanding these concerns is essential for overall infant health and comfort.
