Common Pediatric Dermatologic Conditions
Children’s skin conditions often differ from those seen in adults and may evolve as a child grows. Our dermatology team offers pediatric treatment options for a wide range of medical concerns, including:
Eczema
Eczema often begins in early childhood and can cause persistent dryness, itching, redness, and irritation. Symptoms can fluctuate and are frequently influenced by environmental triggers such as weather changes, allergens, or harsh skincare products.
Diagnosis is typically clinical, based on skin appearance and medical history. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, strengthening the skin barrier, and limiting flare-ups through prescription therapies, structured skincare routines, and parent education.
Acne
Acne can affect children and adolescents due to hormonal shifts, genetics, and skin sensitivity. Without early care, breakouts may worsen or result in scarring. Pediatric acne management emphasizes inflammation control and prevention using age-appropriate topical medications, oral treatments when indicated, and guidance on gentle daily skincare.
Warts and Contagious Skin Conditions
Warts are common in pediatric patients and are caused by viral infections that spread through direct contact. While some resolve on their own, others may persist, spread, or cause discomfort. Pediatric treatment options vary based on the wart’s location and severity, and may include topical therapies or in-office medical treatments.
Infections, Rashes, and Inflammatory Skin Disorders
Children are susceptible to bacterial, fungal, and viral skin infections, as well as inflammatory rashes that can look similar. Prompt evaluation enables accurate diagnosis and targeted treatments that alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of complications or recurrence.
When Should My Child Be Seen by a Dermatology Provider?
A dermatologic evaluation is recommended if your child has a rash that does not improve, frequent itching, recurring infections, painful lesions, or noticeable changes in existing spots on the skin. Early assessment supports timely treatment and helps prevent prolonged discomfort.
