What is Paediatric Dermatology

Paediatric dermatology is a specialised branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating skin conditions in children, from newborns to teenagers. Paediatric dermatologists are experts in managing a wide range of skin issues unique to this age group, such as eczema, birthmarks, acne, rashes, warts, and skin infections. They have specialised training to understand the differences between children’s and adults’ skin, ensuring that treatments are both safe and effective for young patients. The goal of paediatric dermatologists is to promote healthy skin, alleviate discomfort, and help children feel confident and comfortable in their skin.

Paediatric dermatologists address conditions such as:
  • eczema (atopic dermatitis)
  • birthmarks
  • acne
  • rashes
  • psoriasis
  • skin infections
  • genetic skin disorders
  • hair and nail disorders
