Pediatric Dermatology

Pediatric dermatology is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating skin conditions in children, from infancy through adolescence. Children's skin can be quite different from adults', making it essential for doctors to understand their unique needs. Common issues addressed include eczema, warts, acne, birthmarks, and rashes. Pediatric dermatologists also consider the overall health and development of the child while treating skin problems. Their goal is to ensure healthy skin, which is vital for a child's comfort, confidence, and social interactions.
