Skin problems in children and adolescents

What is Paediatric Dermatology?

Paediatric dermatology deals with skin problems in children and adolescents. Many of these conditions are quite different from adult skin problems and require special expertise.

Skin diseases are common. These conditions can lead to itch, infection, or poor growth. Many skin problems can lead to poor self-esteem.

COMMON PAEDIATRIC CONDITIONS MANAGED BY PAEDIATRIC SKIN SPECIALISTS:

  • Eczema
  • Acne and other adolescent skin problems
  • Birthmark: e.g. strawberry birthmarks (haemangiomas)

  • Infections: e.g. molluscum, warts and fungal infections
  • Anogenital skin problems: e.g. lichen sclerosis, phimosis
  • Psoriasis
